Fitzpatrick Lecture

(Redirected from FitzPatrick Lectures)

The Fitzpatrick Lecture is given annually at the Royal College of Physicians on a subject related to history of medicine.[1] The lecturer, who must be a fellow of the college, is selected by the president and may be chosen to speak for two years successively. The lectures are supported by funds from the Fitzpatrick Trust which was established in 1901 by Agnes Letitia Fitzpatrick[2] with a £2,000 donation in memory of her physician husband Thomas Fitzpatrick.[3][4][5] Agnes was influenced by her husband's close friend, Sir Norman Moore, who persuaded her to choose history of medicine as a subject. Subsequently, Moore was credited with its idea and implementation.[6]
