Westminster Hospital Medical School

Categories: Education, Medicine

Group

Students had been taken on at Westminster Hospital almost from its foundation in 1719. The School was formally founded in 1834 by George Guthrie.

In 1905, the teaching of pre-clinical subjects ended at Westminster, and moved to King's College. The School was taken over by the army in 1914 to train pathologists for the war effort.

in 1984 the Westminster Medical School moved and merged with the Charing Cross Medical School to create the Charing Cross and Westminster Medical School.

in 1997, a further merger with the St Mary’s Medical School and Royal Postgraduate Medical School formed the Imperial College School of Medicine known today.

Apart from the building with the plaque in the 1939 St John’s Gardens "campus" (hospital, school, nurses' home) we can find no reference to any specific building that the school used.  Perhaps prior to 1939 the school was always physically integrated into the hospital buildings and had no need of a separate building for itself.
