Public Health in Practice: Dr Keer of Plomesgate
John Cordy Keer was Medical Officer of Health for the Plomesgate district of Suffolk for 54 years. In this talk, we explore the vital public health work of the Medical Officer of Health throughout the late 19th and early 20th centuries. We uncover how these local Medical Officers of Health battled infectious diseases, poor sanitation, and rural housing issues. We will also discover practical strategies for researching historical public health records using local archives, council minutes, and local newspapers to reconstruct this fascinating history.

My @sogorg.bsky.social #AATP talk about my ancestor John Whick has gone live. He was a musician on board HMS Victory and wrote letters home to his family. I have another talk on a completely different topic tomorrow too!
