A deep history of Health and Healing in Edinburgh.

This talk, given by Malcolm Fraser, will cover a deep history of Health and Healing in Edinburgh, from its origins up at Soutra, through Blackfriars and the Trinity College Church, to the Victorian espousal of good, healthy Nightingale principles - what we have learned and what we appear to have forgotten.

This talk is also available to view live online tickets

The talk will be recorded and later added to the OEC YouTube channel.
