About this Event

Join us at the Physicians’ Gallery on the last Wednesday of every month at 12.30pm for a curator-led talk exploring some of the objects on display in our gallery.

Our topic for this talk is the queer women innovators of the medical world. From leading campaigns to founding hospitals for the poor, queer women have been pioneers in the medical world, making medical and social advances.


This 20 minute talk is free, but booking is required. The meeting point is in the Gallery.
