Marking 100 years since the admission of the first Female Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians of Ireland, Mary Hearn, Heritage Day will commence with a celebration of 100 years of Female Fellows, highlighting the impactful contributions of pioneering Female Fellows who have shaped the College’s legacy. You will hear Ms Harriet Wheelock, Keeper of Collections at RCPI, explore the story of the admission of females to Fellows, and meet some distinguished Fellows from across our faculties and institutes who are changing the face of medicine.

Continuing the theme of celebration, we look back to the earliest days of RCPI – then the Fraternity of Physicians of Trinity Hall, founded by John Stearne in 1654. Gain insights into Ireland during the time of John Stearn with a talk from Dr Robert Armstrong, Associate Professor in History, Trinity College Dublin, and learn about the life and lasting influence of John Stearn, shared by Dr Joe Harbison, Associate Professor, Medical Gerontology, Trinity College Dublin.

This is a special opportunity to celebrate our rich history and be inspired by the trailblazers of medicine. Don't miss this unique day of heritage, history, and honour.
