Abstract
On Oct 21, 1959, the establishment of the Faculty of the History and Philosophy of Medicine and Pharmacy was announced by the UK's Worshipful Society of Apothecaries. Its founding aim was “to foster and extend more general interest in medical history and to attract the co-operation of general historians, so that work in this field may be co-ordinated with wider historical studies”. On the Faculty's diamond anniversary, it's timely to reflect on the pursuit of this aim, especially from a personal perspective since from April, 2019, I've served as a “general historian” Faculty President, the 19th person to hold the post.
