Vesalius, VI, 2, 133-135, 2000Financial support for 'amateur' authors is noteasy to obtain. The Wellcome Institute has thelargestfunds, and help from these can be appliedfor. The SSHM is fortunate in having the GuthrieTrust, to which prospective researchers andauthors can apply. Medical or dental studentsrequiring help can apply to the John Blair Trust,organised between the SSHM and the BSHM.Student interest in medical history continuesto grow outside London. The General MedicalCouncil, the statutory body responsible for legalregistration to practice medicine in Britain,decided five years ago that the medicalundergraduate curriculum had become tootechnical. They decreed that 'cultural' subjectswere to be studied as 'modules' during thestudent course, and medical history is now an anestablished one. Students take a course and areexamined on their work. Levels of teachingmodules are variable; some schools have only afew large class lectures. A few have wellestablishedmore intensive courses as in StAndrews and Cardiff. A new centre has justbeen started in the University of Birmingham,next year's national BSHM meeting will be heldthere, in September of 2001.Eighteen U.K medical historians attendedthe ISHM Conference at Galveston in Septemberlast. We now have 61 paid-up members/societies, so are well represented in the InternationalSociety. Our members enjoyed the location,the proceedings, and the home hospitality.We will invite some colleagues from overseas totake part in a day conference of reminiscencesto be held in London on the 7th of November,2001, under the auspices of the Royal Society ofMedicine.
