Talk: 'Scottish medicine: An illustrated history'
Discover the dramatic story of how medicine in Scotland has developed from its origins in prehistory and the early efforts of holy men and folk healers. Leading Scottish medical historians David Hamilton and Iain Macintyre are two of the five authors of 'Scottish medicine: An illustrated history'. Hear of the great achievements of the Monros, Robert Liston, and James Syme, and of how Scots like Joseph Lister, David Livingstone, Sophie Jex-Blake and James Young Simpson transformed healthcare worldwide.
The authors will sign books after the event.
