Our last seminar of the year, on Wednesday, 23 May, will be
> given by
>
> Dr Kelly Loughlin
> Health Promotion Research Unit, London School of Hygiene and
> Tropical Medicine
>
> on:
>
> Spectacle and secrecy: medicine and the media in 1950s Britain.
>
> "This presentation explores the development of medical-media
> relations in 1950s Britain, focusing on the development of a
> routine procedure for the release of information from NHS
> hospitals. According to contemporaries, the implementation of
> the NHS disrupted established local traditions of co-operation
> and mutual dependence between hospitals and the press. This
> claim is explored by detailing events that led up to the
> 'routine procedure' - high profile cases of
> sacrifice surgery on conjoined twins."
>
> We meet at 4.15pm in Room B51 at Birkbeck College, 26 Russell
> Square, WC1. All welcome. Email me if you're coming - it helps
> to plan furniture and tea, thanks.
