Show Notes
Welcome to episode 2 of the IoPPN Research Festival podcast. The festival takes place in South London on Wednesday 15th May 2024, and this year the theme is Origins and New Beginnings and there will be keynote talks from Melanie Abas, Emily Simonoff and Edgar Jones.
We're focusing on origins in this second podcast episode, as we meet Edgar Jones, Professor of the History of Medicine and Psychiatry at the IoPPN. He was awarded a Wellcome grant to explore the clinical and research blueprint of the Maudsley Hospital from its foundation in 1916 to the immediate post-1945 years. In this 15 minute podcast conversation with André Tomlin, we'll hear about the founding of the Maudsley at the beginning of the 20th century and the turbulent times through which this hospital grew.
