Creating future legacies within medical history

Join us for this fantastic event focused on the evolving landscape of medical specialisms and how they have adapted to meet the ever-changing needs of the medical profession and society throughout history.

We have two world-class speakers attending this event. Dr Peter Hammond is a consultant physician specialising in endocrinology. His work on diabetes, osteoporosis, and as the lead in the Gender Identity Services in Leeds, has led to national and international recognition and his commitment to medical education across North Yorkshire. He has written extensively on clinical issues and is increasingly developing his interest in medical history with his research on the earlier work of physicians in this area and their achievements.

Dr Emily Mayhew is a military medical historian specialising in the study of severe casualty, its infliction, treatment, and long-term outcomes in 20th and 21st century warfare. She is a historian in residence in the Department of Bioengineering, working primarily with the Centre for Injury Studies researchers and staff. She is also a Trustee of the Advance Study Charity Board. The Advance Study is the world's leading research investigation into the long-term outcomes of battlefield injury. Dr Mayhew is part of the team that put together the Paediatric Blast Injury Field Manual and the Centre for Paediatric Blast Injury Research, which opened in March 2023. She has written extensively on complex wound trauma in contemporary warfare in the Wounded trilogy and in The Four Horsemen: the Fight against War, Pestilence, Famine and Death.

By attending, you will:

• Know about the ongoing developments of endocrinology in response to the requirements of society
• Be able to recognize the importance of military medical historians in interpreting the ongoing events of the battlefield
