Looking closer at nursing & midwifery

Two renowned names from the world of medicine were welcomed to Ninewells by University museum curator Matthew Jarron and curator of the Medical History Museum Dr Graham Lowe.

Dr John Cule is a respected medical historian and has the distinction of being the only British president of the International Society for the History of Medicine. He was visiting the Medical School to give a lecture entitled ‘Medical History for the Medical Student’ as part of the Postgraduate lecture series at Ninewells. Dr Cule was accompanied by Alain Lellouch, a cardiologist from Paris who was visiting Scotland to give a lecture to the Franco-Scottish Society.

The visitors were shown round the Medical History Museum and were given a preview of the current exhibition ‘Look Closer.’ The show focuses on the history of nursing in Tayside and Fife, and the development of the University’s School of Nursing & Midwifery.
