Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Previous owner has signed inside page, now covered with blank ex libris bookplate sticker.

The history of Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital is many histories in one.

It is the history of a tuberculosis sanatorium, expanded into a chest hospital, at a time when preventative and curative processes were finally putting an end to one of the most feared and highly infectious disease in the history of medicine.

The history of Charlie's is the history of the nursing profession in its three decades of most tremendous change.

The history of the hospital is also the history of developing medical services in Western Australia and Australia-wide. From 206 beds in 1958, the Perth Chest Hospital, which was renamed Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital in 1963, has expanded into an acute hospital with over 40 departments. (Introduction)

Published in association with the Centre for Western Australian History, University of Western Australia.
