By the 1720s Sir Hans Sloane was at the centre of London's eighteenth-century medical and scientific world; he was a royal physician, President of the Royal Society and President of the Royal College of Physicians. This article examines Sloane's use of self-fashioning early in his career, which was key to his later successes. Sloane's career-building offers an opportunity to consider the role of gender in men's medical and scientific activities. This article argues that Sloane used existing concepts of ideal manhood – self-management, independence and polite sociability – to establish his medical practice and scientific networks.
