😅😅 WalkTalkTours you found it 👏👏

To celebrate #NationalSiblingsDay here are two stunning illustrations by brothers John (1763–1820) and Charles Bell (1774-1842). The Bell brothers were Scottish surgeons and anatomist but they were also talented artists and illustrated their own works.

Signatures in our Licentiates Register (1872) of Bankebehari Gupta & Zalnoor Allee Ahmed, the 1st South Asian doctors to be licensed by Royal College of Physicians & Surgeons of Glasgow. We're just starting to piece together their stories - you can read more here: tinyurl.com/2vymb526

#ArchiveCollection today & we couldn’t really decide what to share hence the late appearance😬🙈

In the end we present you with records of voluntary collections of money made to #gri from the board reports (1925 example)...a play on words but that’s part of the fun #Archive30

For today's #Archive30 we're looking at our Ronald Ross #ArchiveCollection . Ross won the Nobel Prize for Medicine for his work on malaria. The collection contains 1000s of items on his medical work, literary career & much more - Ross was a true polymath! rcp.sg/RossHub

It's #NationalUnicornDay 🦄
To celebrate here are some fabulous #unicorns from Pierre Pomet's Histoire generale des drogues (c.1694). Unicorn horn was believed to have miraculous medicinal properties that could cure all manner of ills

Basking in the morning sunshine was the gem, a two faced clock peaking out of the A listed former Glasgow Citizen newspaper office and printing press. Now thecitizenglasgow restaurant and bar (I’d recommend the cocktails) the building has an enormous history.

A delegation of senior clinicians and educators from Chulalongkorn University Faculty of Medicine Thailand visited the RCPSG. Networking is a key aspect of inclusivity. Thanks to the College's Deputy CEO and Director of Education and Assessment for hosting the delegation.🙏🙏🙏

Today's #Archive30 is all about #ArchiveFoodAndDrink and we think this lunch looks lovely! The photo was taken in Salonika c.1916 and shows nurse Annie Allan (centre) with Lieutenant Vine & Sister Cashmore. The photo is from our Scottish Women's Hospitals album

Happy 197th Birthday to the father of antiseptic surgery, Joseph Lister 🥳
His pioneering work on antiseptic surgery began at Glasgow Royal Infirmary where he used carbolic acid for the first time. His principles and practice revolutionised surgery and has saved countless lives

It's day 5 of #Archive30 and we think the rain soaked pavements in this lovely illustration perfectly reflect a #TypicalDay in springtime Glasgow 😆☔️
The artwork is by Muirhead Bone and shows a view of St Vincent Street looking west towards our College buildings (c.1911)
