The Red Hand Gang: Surgeons in Georgian England

A new date for this previously cancelled lecture. Presented by Simon Chaplin, Director of Museums & Special collections at the Royal College of Surgeons of England.


Bloody operations, gruesome dissections and vicious arguments characterised the practice of surgery in Georgian England. Discover how the surgeons salvaged their dire reputation, transforming themselves from a 'useless and wretched' company to a Royal College through science, skill - and some careful spin!
