  • Title: The Seamen's Hospital Society: a progenitor of the tropical institutions.
    Author: Cook GC.
    Journal: Postgrad Med J; 1999 Dec; 75(890):715-7. PubMed ID: 10567595.
    Abstract:
    1999 marks the centenary of the two major British Schools of Tropical Medicine, founded in London and Liverpool, respectively. The origin(s) of the former clearly lies in the Seamen's Hospital Society, which dates from 1821. It seems likely that the foundation of this school (with Government support) also acted as a catalyst for the school at Liverpool, which in fact opened its doors a few months before that in London.
