As part of the Glasgow Science Festival 25, and in this, Glasgow’s 850th Birthday year, the Friends of Glasgow Necropolis are delighted to announce that in partnership with the School of Medicine, Dentistry and Nursing at the University of Glasgow, we will be undertaking a special themed tour on Sunday 8th June @ 1.00pm, which will focus on The Health of a City and Those Who Shaped It.
Join us at the Glasgow Necropolis as we hear the stories of pioneering healthcare providers who navigated poverty, poor sanitation and overcrowding to bring healthcare to the Citizens of Glasgow. This is health in its widest sense, from healthcare to childcare, from education to philanthropy, from medical advancements to the work of the City Improvement Trust, come and hear the stories of those who shaped and changed the health of the City of Glasgow forever.
Be inspired by the nurses of the Glasgow Royal Infirmary, and those women and men whose contributions are too often forgotten and lost from history.
Places will be limited and we expect this tour will be very popular, so get in quick to secure your place!
All places must be booked in advance and Bookings can be made by emailing tours@glasgownecropolis.org.
We look forward to seeing you Sunday 8th June @ 1.00pm.
