The aim of the History of Medicine and Health Special Interest Group is to bring together university academics and students and to forge links with other interested parties both within the University and externally. 
Hosted by the Faculty of Health, the group seeks to promote interdisciplinary and cross-faculty research collaborations, holding online seminars each semester with invited speakers and to enable researchers to showcase their work. 
The first group seminar entitled 'Healers and midwives accused of witchcraft (1563 – 1736)' will be given by guest speaker Professor Nicola Ring from the School of Health and Social Care, Edinburgh Napier University. Professor Ring will discuss her research relating to Scottish healers and midwives accused of witchcraft 400 years ago, and what it tells us about the development of nursing and nursing today. 
All are welcome to join the meeting.
