With over 150 papers, speakers from Asia, Africa, Australasia, North America and Europe, and three days of events, this year’s meeting of the Society for the Social History of Medicine is the largest history of medicine event hosted in the UK. The conference will embrace all historical perspectives on the broad issue of how health has been defined and by whom. Social events include a reception in Glasgow’s City Chambers and the conference dinner at the Hunterian Museum.
