Curing What Ails You: Medicine in the 1940s

The knee bone's connected to the thigh bone...' If your knowledge of medicine is limited to this piece of wisdom, perhaps you need a trip to St Cecilia's. Take a seat at the metaphorical examination table, and listen to the experts dissect the subject of medicine in the 1940s and hear about some of the incredible advancements achieved during this period. You'll be able to get a glimpse of some of the unusual medical specimens (what IS in that jar?!) and rarely-seen models that were used to develop our working knowledge of the human body. Find out what was being taught to medical students during that time, plus you'll discover how that pillar of health and welfare, the NHS, came to be. Sit up straight, there may be questions later!
