Things about Britain's first female surgeon 
A photograph of Dame Louisa Aldrich-Blake. Credit Wellcome Library, LondonThe medical achievements of Dame Louisa Aldrich-Blake, Britain’s first female surgeon, come under the spotlight in a new display at the Science Museum. If her name isn’t familiar then it certainly deserves to be. One hundred years ago she was busy writing to every woman on the medical register to enlist their help in setting up hospitals to treat soldiers injured on the eastern battlefields of the First World War.

Things about drug allergy
NICE have published 'Drug allergy: diagnosis and management'. This quality standard covers the diagnosis and management of drug allergy in adults, young people and children. It does not cover treatment of the acute phase, including anaphylaxis, because this will be covered by a separate quality standard
