Manson, Patrick

  • Persoon
  • 1844-1922

Born in Aberdeenshire and educated at Aberdeen. He was apprenticed to ironmasters aged 13, but following enforced rest due to tuberculosis (Pott's disease), he entered university instead, and graduated in medicine from the University of Aberdeen in 1865, gaining Master of Surgery and MD the following year.

He was appointed medical officer at Durham Lunatic Asylum, and in 1866 he followed his brother David Manson to Shanghai, and was appointed medical officer to the Chinese Imperial Maritime Customs in Formosa (Taiwan). He also worked in Amoy, China and Hong Kong, and developed an interest in tropical diseases and in the role of parasites in their transmission.

He was particularly interested in filaria, a small parasitic worm that causes elephantiasis. His discovery that filiariasis in humans is transmitted by mosquitoes was foundational in modern tropical medicine, and he is often known as the 'father of tropical medicine'. His discoveries led to the mosquito-malaria theory, according to which malaria is transmitted by mosquitoes, rather than bad air, or miasma, as previously supposed.

He moved to London in 1889 and was appointed the Chief Medical Officer to the Colonial Office. He was appointed the first lecturer in Tropical Medicine St George’s.

  • Persoon
  • 1832-1915

Born in 1832 in Shacklewell, London, oldest of 12 children. She spent her childhood at the Middlesex District Pauper Lunatic Asylum in Hanwell, where her father James was a gardener.

She worked as a servant prior to her marriage aged 17 in 1848 to William Bradbury, a widower and a groom, in Tamworth, Midlands. Their daughter Eliza was born in 1850 in Hanwell.

She joined St Pancras Infirmary, a workhouse infirmary, in 1858 as superintendent nurse after the death of her husband. Prior to this she had worked at the Essex County Lunatic Asylum as an attendant in 1857.

In 1859 she married William Coster, medical officer at St Pancras Infirmary; they had a daughter (Mary Louisa, b.1859) and a son (William Tyeth, b.1860). They moved to Hanwell in 1862, when William obtained a post as a surgeon to the Central London District School at Hanwell. Their son William died in 1862 of tuberculosis, aged 1 year and 9 months. The couple had at least four more children, twin daughters Helen and Lucy (b.1864), and sons Charles and Ernest. Lucy Hannah died in 1868 from diphtheria, aged 4.

She remained at St George's for 25 years, 1872-1897. She is unusual in not coming from a high social class, or having received formal training.

Mallinson, Paul

  • Persoon
  • 1909-1989

Atkinson Morley Hospital

  • GB/NNAF/C230090
  • Instelling
  • 1869-2003

The hospital was originally built as a convalescent home for recovering patients from St George's Hospital (then at Hyde Park Corner), but became a brain surgery centre and was involved in the development of the CT scanner.

Atkinson Morley, a former medical student at St George's and a wealthy landowner and hotelier, left £100,000 in his will to St George's 'for receiving, maintaining and generally assisting convalescent poor patients', and the hospital opened in July 1869. It received patients from St George's initially on horse-drawn carriages, and from 1888 on an 'omnibus' accommodating 14 people.

It remained a convalescent home until 1939, and during the First World War it accommodated servicemen. The hospital was struggling financially, and gradually it began to admit more acute cases as well as tuberculosis patients. During the Second World War it became Atkinson Morley Emergency Hospital.

After the war, the hospital became an internationally recognised neuroscience centre, established by neurosurgeon Wylie McKissock. The Department of Psychiatry and an X-ray department specialising in neuroradiology were established in 1949; a Sleep Laboratory was established in 1972. The Wolfson Neurorehabilitation Centre was opened in 1967 to provide rehabilitation and outpatient services for the hospital. The hospital successfully introduced CT (computed tomography) scanning into medical practice in 1971 following a prototype scanner built by electronic engineer Godfrey Hounsfield, who was subsequently awarded the Nobel Prize for his invention in 1979.

The building closed in 2003, and neuroscience services were located to the Atkinson Morley Wing at St George's Hospital, Tooting; the Wolfson Neurorehabilitation Centre remained in Wimbledon.
