Bulletin of the Historic Medical Equipment Society

A great resource on historical instruments

The Historical Medical Equipment Society was founded in 1996 at a meeting of collectors and museum curators in London.


It aims to promote education and research into the history of surgical instruments, equipment and objects relating to medicine, dentistry and pharmacy.

Meetings are held around the country at various museums, hospitals or medical schools.

HMES has published a Bulletin since 1997. This is full of fascinating articles, including many relating to the history of urology.


PDFs of the HMES Bulletins from 1997 to 2018 can be accessed on the HMES website
