The Association of Anaesthetists at 21 Portland Place is
fortunate to be in a particularly historic part of London.
On World Anaesthesia Day, join us on a walking tour of
the significant locations linked to the history of anaesthesia. Led by Association of Anaesthetist heritage volunteer and history of medicine enthusiast Dr Rob Feneck, the tour will start
at Portland Place and pass along streets and neighbourhoods that teem with
history and monuments to anaesthesia of truly historic importance. You’ll be
introduced to three of the most important figures in anaesthesia and surgery,
Joseph Lister, John Snow and Joseph Clover and visit locations linked to them
and the history of anaesthesia.
The tour will start and end at the Association of
Anaesthetists home at 21 Portland Place. There will be an opportunity to visit the
museum after the tour and refresh with a tea/coffee and biscuits.
