Visitor staffs from three London hospitals, 1801–1870. Who made sure English hospitals were up to scratch 200 years ago? The doctors? It was usually successful local businessmen who inspected English voluntary hospitals, visiting once or twice a week to monitor patient welfare. They took tours of the institution, checking the condition of the building, visiting patients on the wards, and tasting the hospital food. Contributors: Science Museum, London. Work ID: qw738pbz.
