Colloque annuel de la BSHP

British Society for the History of Pharmacy annual conference

 

Call for contributions

 

Saturday 5 April 2025


Save the date for our annual conference, to be held at the George Marshall Medical Museum in Worcester on Saturday 5 April 2025. Join us for a packed programme of talks, socialising, our Annual General Meeting, and plenty of time to explore this wonderful museum! We are also planning visits for the afternoon of Friday 4 April if you'd like to extend your stay.

Our conference theme is inspired by our conference location Worcester. As the place where the precursor to the British Medical Association was founded in 1832, and the home to two medical museums, our focus is the interaction between pharmacy and its history with other professions and disciplines. Perhaps you'd like to talk about past pharmacists' relationships with other health practitioners. You could investigate areas of overlap between historical pharmacy practice and other disciplines. Or you might have a case study where pharmacy history meets another field of study.

We would welcome proposals for short talks (20
minutes), either directly linked to the conference theme or any other aspect of pharmacy history that you’re currently exploring. There is also the opportunity to submit a poster, again on the conference theme or other area of pharmacy history interest. You do not have to be an experienced speaker or seasoned researcher to take part - we are always very keen to support those new to pharmacy history.


Please contact Briony Hudson, Conference Organiser (conference@bshp.org), with a short outline of your proposed contribution (250 words) - or with any queries – by Friday 9 November 2024.

Programme details including an associated visits and social programme and booking form will be issued with the December Gazette and via our website at www.bshp.org/events.

Please note that accommodation will not form part of the booking, but a suggested conference hotel and other accommodation options will be provided for delegates to book directly.
