This book describes the history of Cardiff as a town, the establishment of medical societies in the UK and the medical infrastructure in Cardiff prior to and in 1870.
​
The biographies of key leaders in 1870 describe how the brave inspirational medical leaders established the Cardiff Medical Society and were crucial in revolutionising healthcare. These dedicated doctors should receive their due recognition from the City of Cardiff for crucial involvement in key aspects of municipal life in Cardiff which shaped the future of the city in the 19th century.
​
The well-researched chapters, written by experienced academic authors, will be important reading for all members of the Cardiff Medical Society, and a useful reference for historians, resident doctors and medical students to understand the origins of public health and medicine in Cardiff.
​
“This is a fascinating book, showing how a small band of doctors, who played critical roles in the development and transformation of Cardiff’s health care, came together to create what is now the oldest medical society in Wales. But until this book was written I never realised how and why it was founded.”
​
“The Cardiff Medical Society should be congratulated on bringing together and explaining this facet of our past. We should also congratulate the Society for contributing over a century and a half to education, cohesion and advancement of medicine in Cardiff.”
Baroness Ilora Finlay of Llandaff, Cardiff
E-BOOK £15
