Wellcome Unit for History of Medicine: Notice

The Wellcome Unit for History of Medicine was established in the University in 1971, supported by funds provided by the Wellcome Trust; since 1972 the Unit has been constituted as a Sub-department of the Department of History and Philosophy of Science. The funding from the Wellcome Trust has now been terminated, and the General Board have accordingly agreed, with the concurrence of the Board of History and Philosophy of Science, to suppress the Unit with effect from 1 October 1998. In future, provision for studies in the history of medicine will be made through the Department of History and Philosophy of Science.

To give effect to this decision, the General Board have approved amendments of certain regulations, as follows:

(i) The regulations for the Department of History and Philosophy of Science (Statutes and Ordinances, p. 571).
