Last Thursday the 23rd of June a group of 3rd year medical students visited Whitchurch Hospital as part of a History of Medicine SSC (Student Selected Components) course. We had an interesting morning starting off with a talk from Tim Goosey looking at the history of the Hospital, followed by some information on medication over the years by Gwawr Faulconbridge. We moved to the boardroom for coffee and a look at the artifacts there. Next in the plan was a tour of the grounds but the rain put a temporary stop to that so we made our way to the main hall. The rain had stopped for a moment so we made the most of it and had a brief tour of the East side of the Hospital. We then had a tour of the ECT department where Dr Maria Atkins gave a talk on this treatment. The morning was nicely finished with a talk on the history of ECT by Dr Maria Atkins.
Thank you to all who were involved in organising this event, Dr Katie Phillips, Dr Maria Atkins and Tim Goosey.
