Women and Medicine London Walking Tour

Spanning 150 years, learn about the pioneers who became England’s first female doctor, surgeon, neuro-surgeon and medical school dean.

The walk starts at Euston with the hospital of Elizabeth Garett Anderson, England's first qualified practicing medical doctor and explores Fitzrovia, an area with stunning Victorian and modern buildings dedicated to medical practice. We end the walk with all that remains of the Middlesex Hospital – the beautiful chapel.

Along the way we’ll share the stories of women who with fortitude, determination and compassion overcame countless hurdles to become ground-breaking medical professionals.
