Between 1563 and 1736, almost 4,000 people were accused of witchcraft in Scotland under the Witchcraft Act. Women and men were accused of witchcraft for various reasons, but some were accused of being witches for helping to care for their neighbours during sickness and childbirth. Nicola Ring, Nessa McHugh and Rachel Davidson-Welch from Edinburgh Napier University share the findings of their research into this forgotten chapter of nursing history. They will tell the stories of some of the Scottish women and men cruelly and unfairly accused and punished for helping others, talk about their healing practices and reflect on what they did from a modern healthcare perspective.
