Our Blood Medical Resource Pack
(GCSE "Medicine Through Time")

Hot off the press, this colourful A4 poster style pack contains images of nineteenth century lithotomy and trepanning procedures alongside quotes from the modern surgeon. Each section profiles the amazing architecture, surgical procedures and hauntingly unhygienic practices that once comprised the treatment of patients of the United Hospitals. Useful and interesting for all, from GCSE students to adults, this medical resource pack was generously funded by a grant from the Foyle Foundation.

shop photo

The shop at the Museum is small but full of interesting items. In Denise Barrett's review of the Museum for 'Health Matters' the museum shop was complimented as being "like a mini V&A shop". We try to make health and medicine the theme of the Shop but also have items of more general interest. We have a very good supply of books on the history of medicine and on herbal medicine. We have lots of idiosyncratic science toys and games including biros mascarading as syringes. We have tee-shirts, guide books, information sheets and books on local history.
