Join Dr Louise Hide as we lift the covers of patient casebooks and doctors’ reports to catch sight of daily life inside the wards and corridors of a late-19th-century lunatic asylum. There will be a chance to ask questions at the end of the talk.
We’ll be in the Viewing Room. It’s next to the Library entrance on level 2, which you can reach by taking the lift or the stairs.
Booking a ticket for a free event does not guarantee you a place. You should aim to arrive 15 minutes before the event is scheduled to start to claim your place. If you do not arrive on time, your place may be given to someone on the waiting list.
