Happy 200th birthday to UCL! A medical walk round Fitzrovia

March 11 @ 13:00 - 15:00

Meet opposite one of London’s finest hospitals and end at the chapel of a rival hospital that has been razed to the ground. Learn about the medical discoveries at University College Hospital and at the now extinct Middlesex Hospital on the other side of Tottenham Court Road. We’ll talk about the discovery of the hormone aldosterone, early identification of HIV, novel cancer therapies and some of the amazing characters who have shaped the practice of medicine over the past 200 years.
