Medicine under fire: the work of civil defence casualty services in wartime

Talk duration: approx. 45 minutes

Amongst the services that served on the Home Front in the Second World War, casualty services are amongst the least studied and least focused upon. This is despite their work being the forerunner of modern emergency medical practice. Nathan Hazlehurst, a PhD student and emergency planner, will explore the background to the service, how it worked on the ground, and how it impacts modern day medicine. 

Nathan has kindly agreed to provide this talk for free to the museum.

Extended opening times will be in place for the evening, meaning visitors can come from 9am to 6:30pm on the day of the talk. Free.
