Scotland & Medicine showcase event!

Scotland is renowned for its amazing contributions to medical innovation through a long history of pioneering research, education, treatment and technology. The members of Scotland & Medicine tell this story through their amazing collections, and on Tues 10 March 2026 we hosted a special online event so that the public could find out more.
