History of Moorfields Eye Hospital

Reviews

Doctors.net, September 2004
… a pleasurable read… it deserves a place on every ophthalmologist's shelf, firstly as a genuinely good bedtime read, but also as a record of development and achievement of this highly regarded centre of medical excellence, which celebrates its bicentenary in 2005.

Journal of the Medical Sciences Historical Society, September 2004
The author is to be congratulated for presenting Moorfields' enormous contribution to ophthalmology over the past forty years to the general public. It is meticulously written, packed with information and the many colored plates illustrate the people and life in Moorfields Hospital

Official Journal of the International Society, December 2004
The author, who was both trainee and consultant at the hospital, manages to convey a comprehensive, moving picture in an easy style and there are a number of illustrations, some in colour. This finely presented history deserves reading by more than those with direct links with Moorfields. It offers an insight into the way many hospitals work and what it is like to work in them.
