The Middlesex Hospital All-Day Symposium
Saturday 31st August 2019 at The Institute of Education
In the booklet entitled The Middlesex: Two Hundred and Fifty Years 1745-1995 the late Dr Arthur Miller wrote ‘for a great hospital it is not just a building; it is the totality of its history, its traditions and ethos, its achievements and, above all else, the great company of those who have served on its staff.’
This Symposium, to be held at the Institute of Education, will endeavour to embrace these special words and prove why The Middlesex was such a popular and friendly hospital.

- a brief history of The Middlesex,

- Marion Frank and Mary Craig,
- Winston Churchill and his June 1962 hip repair,
