Edition Details: Introduction to a symposium on Joseph Lister
Language: English
Last year saw the 100th anniversary of the death of Joseph Lister FRCS PRS (1827--1912), and two Lister commemorative events, in London and Edinburgh.1 This issue of Notes and Records is devoted to new scholarship on Lister's surgical science and discovery of antisepsis, and brings together a collection of papers arising from the London conference, which took place on 22--24 March 2012 in three locations: the Royal Society, where he was President between 1895 and 1900, the Royal College of Surgeons, where he was Vice President (1886--88), and at King's College London, where he was Professor of Clinical Surgery (1877--92). Organized by the King's Centre for the Humanities and Health,2 the conference attracted a multidisciplinary audience, including Fellows of the Royal Society, surgical academics, nursing staff, pathologists, historians of medicine and health care safety, infectious disease experts, health services researchers and commentators, museum professionals and a dozen members of the Lister and Watson Cheyne families.
