Oral history, caring, health and illness

Oral history is strong in the UK, and so is history of medicine. The topic for this year’s Oral History Society‘s Annual Conference is ‘Who Cared? Oral History, Caring, Health and Illness: Marking 60 Years of the National Health Service’. The meeting is organised in association with the University of Birmingham Centre for the History of Medicine and takes place in Birmingham 4-5 July. More info here. Seems like a good opportunity to refuel the oral history skill tanks.
