Dr. Andrew Newton, a retired NHS emergency medicine consultant, will discuss the impact of Roman history on healthcare in Scotland during a talk at the Victoria Hall in Cromarty. Scheduled for March 17, 2024, at 19:30, this event builds on the success of his previous presentation in 2024. The Cromarty History Society is organizing this gathering, which is open to visitors.
Uncovering Roman Contributions
Many people believe the Romans did not advance past Hadrian’s Wall when they occupied Scotland. However, Dr. Newton’s extensive research reveals otherwise. His passion for Roman history, combined with his professional background in healthcare, positions him uniquely to explore how Roman practices may have influenced medical care in Scotland.
In addition to his clinical experience, Dr. Newton regularly collaborates with museums, schools, and history groups to promote understanding of historical contexts. His work highlights the intriguing connections between ancient civilizations and contemporary practices, particularly in the realm of healthcare.
