In 1485, the English Swete swept through London and was probably something similar to 'Spanish Flu'; it reoccurred every few years until the middle of the 16th century - it may have carried off several important people such as Archbishop Pole and possibly Mary I who died at the height of one of the epidemics. Thought to have been brought into England with Henry VII French mercenaries who fought at Bosworth (they were described as gaol-sweepings).
Sudor Anglicus – the English sweat – was probably another acute form of viral infection. But some of the symptoms and the profile of the sickness just didn’t fit with those of influenza. Influenza epidemics occur in cold weather and mortality is highest among the elderly, whereas epidemics of the sweat happened in the summer and early autumn and tended to claim the lives of otherwise fit and healthy young adults. Henry VIII’s second wife, Anne Boleyn, is believed to have contracted the sweat and survived, but her near-contemporary Henry Brandon, Duke of Suffolk, did not, succumbing during the epidemic of 1551. see pg 29
“The history and heritage of pharmacy: informing the present and future of our profession”
An experts meeting at the FIP Congress in Abu Dhabi
Dear Colleagues,
The International Pharmaceutical Federation (FIP) believes that understanding, discussing and reflecting critically on the heritage and history of our profession is undoubtedly necessary to better understand the present using our collective learnings from the past, to help determine our future and our relation with the multifaceted concerns of Humanity with a principal aim to promote pharmacy and pharmacists.
With this in mind, FIP is considering setting up an experts group focusing on the heritage and history of pharmacy, pharmacy museums, ancient pharmacies (still operating), historical collections and archives, with the primary aim of promoting networking, collaboration and intellectual exchange among such experts and creating transdisciplinary collaborations and joint initiatives between all.
This group will have an inaugural meeting at the coming 79th World Congress of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences of FIP, in September, in Abu Dhabi. This will be an invitation-only meeting, and we invite all interested FIP member organisations, Academic Institutional Members and other experts in pharmacy museums and archives to appoint delegates to this encounter.
You are most welcome to share this invitation with any experts in History of Pharmacy you may know.
This meeting will help design a new strategy and encourage transnational collaborations, but it will also provide background data and be a proof of concept to investigate whether there is ample endorsement to such an initiative to support its continuity.
In Abu Dhabi, we will have two three-hour sessions on the 25th and 26th September. The first one will offer the opportunity to all interested organisations to present initiatives from around the world about the conservation of pharmacy’s heritage, the curation of pharmacy museums and collections, historical archives and documentation centres, etc.
The second session will be used to discuss our future strategy as a focus group on heritage and history of pharmacy within FIP – future activities, themes to discuss, partnerships and collaborations with aligned organisations, planned meetings, etc.
