About Us
The Centre for the History of Medicine celebrates its 25th anniversary in the 2024. Read about our legacy and the special events we held and click here to meet our Anniversary Fellows!
The Centre for the History of Medicine provides a hub for research and teaching in the history of medicine at Warwick.
It is based within the History Department, but it also welcomes and looks to develop interdisciplinary activity across the University, reaches out to scholars nationally and internationally, and engages with policy and the public.
