SUMMARY:Keats Memorial Lecture 2025: Consumption & Creativity
DESCRIPTION:Keats Memorial lecture 2025 in association with King’s College London \nSpeaker: Dr Noel Snell \nThe talk will review changing attitudes to TB in the 18th/19thC\, with the rise in belief that infection could stimulate creativity in artists\, composers\, writers\, and poets; examples of creative subjects who suffered from TB include Keats\, Shelley\, Chopin\, the Brontë sisters\, Chekhov\, Kafka\, George Orwell\, Aubrey Beardsley\, and Modigliani. Some physicians considered that ‘toxins’ from the disease could affect the behaviour and creativity of TB patients; could there be any truth in the idea that infection could modify a patient’s behaviour? ). There is evidence in man that the parasite Toxoplasma gondii can cause increased risk-taking\, and is associated with a higher likelihood of developing schizophrenia\, which has been associated with creativity and artistic achievement. Mice infected with Mycobacterium vaccae (a relative of the bacillus causing TB) show increased levels of serotonin in the brain\, a reduction in anxiety\, and improved learning ability. Keats was a genius; but was this innate\, or contributed to by his TB infection (or perhaps the drugs he may have taken for it)? \nThe Keats Lecture was established in 1968 and has been given every other year\, bar one\, since 1969 on a day as close as possible to the anniversary of the death of John Keats\, which was on February 23rd\, 1821. It is organised and hosted in rotation by the Worshipful Society of Apothecaries\, the Royal College of Surgeons\, and what was Guy’s Hospital Medical School\, which is now King’s College London. The link between these organisations was that Keats trained at Guy’s and subsequently qualified at the Worshipful Society of Apothecaries and the Royal College of Surgeons.

SUMMARY:Open House Weekend
DESCRIPTION:Open House is an exciting\, free festival that showcases London’s architecture\, engineering\, and urban landscape. As the world’s largest architecture festival\, it offers a unique opportunity to explore the city’s hidden gems. From grand Livery Halls to sleek modern skyscrapers\, this event opens doors to buildings that are typically closed to the public\, and provides a rare glimpse into London’s rich architectural heritage. \nAlthough the festival takes place over a fortnight\, Apothecaries’ Hall will be open for just one day. Previously we have had over 1000 visitors\, so expect queues. Inside\, volunteers will be stationed throughout the building\, ready to share fascinating insights about the history of the rooms\, paintings\, and treasures. \nIt’s a perfect opportunity to show the Hall to your friends\, and to delve into the architectural beauty and heritage that makes London and the City so special.

SUMMARY:The Patrick Reyntiens Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Patrick Reyntiens was a leading stained glass artist of the twentieth century\, and his collaborations with John Piper on the Baptistry Window of Coventry Cathedral and Liverpool Metropolitan Cathedral are perhaps his most famous legacy. Born in 1925\, his career was shaped by the aftermath of the Second World War’s bomb damage and the opportunities for restoration this created. With his wife\, the painter Anne Bruce\, he ran the international art school Burleighfield House from their home\, and this is where John Reyntiens spent his first 12 years\, making his first stained glass panel at age 9. Patrick Reyntiens’ work is renowned for its colour and power\, and immense technical skill. His art was informed by his Catholic faith and his knowledge of music\, art and literature. \nJohn Reyntiens will explore his father’s legacy and the profound impact of his work on stained glass today. The Lecture will be chaired by Past Master Glazier David Stringer-Lamarre and will be held at Glaziers Hall\, London SE1 9DD. The ticket price is £10 for Glaziers and members of the BSMGP\, and £12 for members of the public. Booking closes at noon on 22 September.

SUMMARY:The Audrey Few Lecture 2025 – Prof Mark Hannaford
DESCRIPTION:Life & Death Decisions in Places Where Google Cannot Find (The Audrey Few Lecture) \nTo be given by Prof Mark Hannaford \nMark Hannaford is an expedition leader\, pioneer\, and founder of World Extreme Medicine and co-Founder of The WEM Fund\, the world’s foremost platform for training clinicians to deliver care in the most remote and unpredictable environments. With decades of operational experience spanning deserts\, jungles\, mountains\, polar regions\, oceans\, and conflict zones\, he has helped shape a new medical sub-discipline: Extreme Medicine. \n​His work has consistently sought to break down silos rather than create new ones\, drawing together physicians\, surgeons\, nurses\, paramedics\, humanitarians\, military medics\, and explorers into a collaborative global community. His partnerships extend to the frontiers of space\, working alongside NASA astronauts and space medicine specialists to translate lessons from orbit into practice on Earth. \nAt the heart of this mission is the belief that medicine cannot remain confined within clinic or hospital walls. In a world challenged by conflict\, climate change\, displacement\, and disaster\, healthcare must be mobile\, adaptable\, and democratic delivered where it is needed most\, rather than where it is most convenient to provide. Extreme Medicine embodies this principle\, equipping clinicians to serve patients in the harshest conditions and\, in turn\, strengthening the very foundations of mainstream healthcare. \nIn this year’s Audrey Few Lecture at Apothecaries’ Hall\, he will reflect on the realities of making life-and-death decisions in places far beyond the reach of conventional healthcare systems. He will demonstrate how the lessons learned in extreme environments\, from frontline trauma in Ukraine to high-altitude rescues to highlight a different way of doing.  \nProfessor Mark Hannaford FEWM FRGS FRCSEd DSc (hc) is an expedition leader\, aquanaut\, and founder of World Extreme Medicine and the MSc in Extreme Medicine at the University of Exeter\, the world’s first postgraduate programme of its kind. Over four decades of expeditions\, he has worked across deserts\, jungles\, mountains\, oceans\, polar regions\, and conflict zones\, most recently delivering trauma supplies and medical teams to Ukraine. \nElected a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh\, awarded a Doctor of Science honoris causa by the University of Exeter\, and recipient of the Explorers Club EC50 Award celebrating 50 global visionaries changing the world. His deep involvement in humanitarian efforts has also helped raise over £106 million for charities and crisis response worldwide. His collaborations with NASA astronauts\, war surgeons\, humanitarian nurses\, expedition leaders and international medical specialists continue to shape Extreme Medicine as a vital\, boundary-crossing discipline. \nAs co-founder of the WEMFund with Advanced Paramedic Luca Alfatti MSc\, WEMFund’s work has been highlighted in the UK Parliament he is presently focused on translating lessons from the Ukraine conflict back to the UK medical community through public engagement and focused learning initiatives. Recognised by the Government of the United Arab Emirates\, he was awarded a Golden Visa under their Exceptional Talent programme.

SUMMARY:John Locke & Sydenham Lecture – Dr Rupal Shah & Dr Rageshri Dhairyawan
DESCRIPTION:Lecture title: Unheard: On medical silencing (Sydenham Lecture) \nSpeaker: Dr Rageshri Dhairyawan \nSydenham lecture 2025\nWhen Dr Rageshri Dhairyawan was admitted to hospital as a patient she didn’t receive the pain medication that she told them she needed\, despite her being a senior doctor. It was in that moment she understood that something was deeply wrong with our healthcare system – medical silencing is pervasive and hindering patient safety and health equity.\nIn Unheard\, Dr Dhairyawan takes us on a journey through history to show how silencing patients has been ingrained in medicine from its inception. Western medicine has been built on the assumption that power should always lie with the doctor\, and that patients should be powerless to decisions made about their body if it is done to make them well. This\, alongside the prejudices of society\, has led to dramatic gaps in medical knowledge because for centuries people have not been heard. \nDr Dhairyawan offers a way to reshape our health system for a future where active and engaged listening is the new frontier. \nThe John Locke lecture presented by Dr Rupal Shah will be available shortly.

SUMMARY:English Delftware Drug Jars\, Reading the Runes – Alan Humphries
DESCRIPTION:Alan Humphries will show a wide variety of the different hand painted designs and drug labels on these seventeenth and eighteenth century jars. \nThere are the names of the contents. Look closely; some will have dates and the initials of their original owners. Understanding the style of painting – some of angels\, others of mythical creatures or floral swags – can inform us about where they were made. \nManufactured from c.1640 to 1780\, the shapes and decoration changed over this period. Imagine how impressive a shop wall full of these jars made as a set might be\, and how the beauty of the designs may have helped to convince customers of both the efficacy of the contents and the skills of their owner? \nA Librarian to the Thackray Museum\, Leeds which with 436 jars and 11 pill tiles is the largest collection of English Delftware drug jars anywhere\, Alan was appointed at its foundation in 1990 and remained in charge until he retired in 2021. Describing his interest “an obsession which still continues today”\, Alan has traced and catalogued around 2900 English jars to date. \nBookings open shortly.
