Come and visit our newest exhibition "Hard Hats and Vaccines: Fifty years of the Faculties of Occupational Medicine and Public Health Medicine", celebrating the 50th anniversaries of the founding of the Faculty of Occupational Medicine and the Faculty of Public Health Medicine in the Royal College of Physicians of Ireland. The faculties are responsible for providing training and continuing professional development for doctors practicing in those specialities.
Occupational medicine is a clinical medical specialty that deals with the interface between work and health. It combines scientific knowledge with an understanding of legal issues surrounding workplace safety and employment equality.
Public health medicine focuses on the protection and improvement of the population as a whole. The work of public health physicians goes beyond the healthcare system, with doctors working in government agencies, local community ad voluntary organisations.
This exhibition celebrates these specialties through the selection of key objects from our collection that represent their stories, past and present.
This is a walk-in event; no booking is required. Please note we are not open Thursday 20 August.
