SUMMARY:Audrey Few Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Audrey Few Lecture – The Care of Strangers: Frontiers of Humanitarian Action – by Mr Christopher Lockyear \nSociety Members: Lecture & Drinks £20\nNon-Members: Lecture & Drinks £25 \nCare in conflict zones asks more of humanitarians than clinical or programmatic competence. Christopher Lockyear examines what happens when they are thrust into geopolitical crunch points: their role in accountability and testimony where journalism is banned\, their responsibility to their own teams\, and what they concede to reach a patient at all. \nGood intentions are not the only measure when the act of care is itself a form of geopolitical capital. The lecture asks who is spending that capital\, on whose behalf\, and what we should do about it. \nChristopher Lockyear has spent two decades providing medical care where war had stopped it\, in Sudan\, Somalia\, Palestine and Ukraine. For seven and a half years he was Secretary General of Médecins Sans Frontières\, an organisation of nearly 70\,000 staff across more than 70 countries\, and spoke for it at the United Nations Security Council. He is now Executive-in-Residence at the Geneva Centre for Security Policy\, a senior adviser to the Centre for Humanitarian Dialogue\, and a non-executive director of TRIAL International\, which fights impunity for war crimes.

SUMMARY:John Locke Lecture and the Sydenham Lecture
DESCRIPTION:John Locke Lecture: Hate in Healthcare: from Freud to the Frontline – Prof Graham Easton and the Sydenham Lecture: Why are doctors so miserable? – by Prof Clare Gerada \nSociety Members: Lecture & Drinks £20 / Lecture & Supper £60\nNon-Members: Lecture & Drinks £25 / Lecture & Supper £65 \nPresenting Hate in Healthcare: from Freud to the Frontline (John Locke lecture)\nTo be given by Prof Graham Easton \nOnline abuse\, verbal and physical assaults\, protective screens\, and zero tolerance posters all point to a growing tension between healthcare professionals and patients. In this lecture\, Professor Easton explores how anger\, resentment\, even hate\, can arise in an increasingly pressured NHS\, and how these dynamics shape frontline care. Drawing on key insights into “difficult” clinical encounters\, from Freud’s account of the origins of hate to contemporary studies of hostility in healthcare\, he asks how we might protect the compassion at the heart of practice. Could a clearer ethical frame\, in the spirit of John Locke\, help doctors and patients recognise the humanity in each other and rescue a relationship under strain? \nProf Graham Easton is Honorary Professor of Clinical Communication Skills at Queen Mary University of London\, a GP of 30 years’ experience\, and a National Teaching Fellow with Advance HE. His career spans clinical practice\, medical education\, and BBC journalism\, with a particular interest in training doctors in empathic communication\, including how to manage “difficult” and aggressive consultations. \n———– \nPresenting Why are doctors so miserable?

SUMMARY:LSO 20th Anniversary Annual City Livery Concert and Reception
DESCRIPTION:Celebrating two decades\, the Annual City Livery Concert has become a much-loved fixture in the City of London calendar: both a vibrant showcase of the rich arts and culture of the Square Mile\, and an opportunity for the LSO to express its gratitude to the companies\, clubs and guilds whose continued support enables world-leading music-making on their doorstep. \nConducted by LSO Chief Conductor Sir Antonio Pappano\, this year’s programme opens with Anatoly Liadov’s The Enchanted Lake. Bursting with orchestral colour and atmosphere\, this miniature masterpiece of Russian Romanticism conjures a magical\, dreamlike world that feels both mysterious and utterly transporting. Mezzo-soprano Fleur Barron then joins the Orchestra for the world premiere of Hannah Kendall’s I have discovered the secret of death. One of today’s most exciting compositional voices\, Kendall brings a powerful contemporary perspective to this eagerly anticipated new work\, commissioned by the LSO. \nThe evening concludes with Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No 5\, one of the great orchestral masterpieces: a thrilling journey from darkness to triumph\, filled with unforgettable melodies and sweeping emotion. By turns tragic\, passionate and heroic\, it remains one of the most moving works in the symphonic repertoire. We invite you to bring family to share in this celebratory evening\, and there are a wide range of restaurants and dining options in the Barbican and surrounding area should you wish to make a full evening of your visit. \nThe concert will begin at 7pm. Ahead of the performance\, you are warmly invited to a pre-concert reception from 6.15pm. The reception will continue in the interval. \nTickets cost £68 per person\, or £58 per person for a group booking of ten or more guests. Please book your tickets via https://www.lso.co.uk/Livery2026. For group bookings of ten or more\, please contact the LSO directly at rsvp@lso.co.uk. \nWe hope many Liverymen and their guests will be able to join us for what promises to be a memorable evening of music.

SUMMARY:Gideon De Laune Lecture and Monckton Copeman Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Gideon De Laune Lecture: Plague and the Global War on Rats – by Prof Christos Lynteris \nMonckton Copeman Lecture: History of wax anatomical models and how they have contributed\, from the 17th century onwards by Dr Roberta Ballestriero \nSociety Members: Lecture & Drinks £20 / Lecture & Supper £60\nNon-Members: Lecture & Drinks £25 / Lecture & Supper £65 \nPresenting Plague and the Global War on Rats (Gideon De Laune Lecture)\nTo be given by Prof Christos Lynteris \nRats are today seen as a sine qua non of plague\, but this is a very recent idea. The lecture explores how the rat became understood as a carrier and spreader of the disease. Contesting that this was simply the result of scientific discoveries\, Christos Lynteris unravels this story by focusing on the Third Plague Pandemic\, a global outbreak of bubonic plague between 1894 and the 1950s that claimed an estimated 15 million lives and transformed the world in complex and enduring ways. Weaving together of epidemiological reasoning and imagination\, the lecture will shed new light to the ways we have approached the relation between plague and rats. \nChristos Lynteris is Professor of Medical Anthropology at the University of St Andrews. His research focuses on the anthropological and historical examination of epidemics with a particular focus on zoonotic diseases\, and colonial medicine. He is the author of 6 books\, the most recent of which is How Plague Got Rats: Mastering a Zoonotic Pandemic (Johns Hopkins University Press\, 2026). \n———— \nPresenting History of wax anatomical models and how they have contributed\, from the 17th century onwards\, to the development of medical education (Monckton Copeman Lecture)\nTo be given by Dr Roberta Ballestriero \nHistory of wax anatomical models and how they have contributed\, from the 17th century onwards\, to the development of medical education.
