This two day workshop aims to bring together postgraduates in the history of medicine from across the UK to share their research.

We welcome proposals for 15 minute papers which discuss any topic relating to the history of medicine across all time-periods. Papers should reflect the current research of postgraduates at any stage of their studies and may consider any aspect of their work, including their methodology or findings.

The workshop will include a question and answer session aimed at providing useful tips and advice regarding the practical and academic challenges faced by medical history postgraduates. Speakers from the Wellcome Trust will also be present to inform scholars about funding opportunities for doctoral and post-doctoral research.

Proposals of up to 300 words should be emailed to

Lynsey.cullen@brookes.ac.uk by Monday 15th August 2011. The programme will be announced soon after. Informal enquiries and requests to attend the workshop but not present a paper should also be sent to this address.
