A sixteenth-century clergyman and physician : Timothy Bright's dual approach to melancholia
This article explores the nexus of healing between clergy and physicians in late sixteenth- and early seventeenth-century medicine by focusing on the disease of melancholia, and in particular on the earliest extant English monograph on that subject, A Treatise of Melancholie (1586), by Timothy Bright. Melancholia was a disease especially apt to be treated by both medical practitioners and the clergy as it was widely defined as both corporal and spiritual in origin. What makes Bright's treatise particularly noteworthy is the vocation of the author: Bright was both doctor and cleric, and his work straddled both occupations as he defined, diagnosed and attempted to cure melancholy in his reader. By examining what Bright wrote about the various aspects of the disease, this article provides further insight into the clashes, conciliations and cooperation between early modern medical practitioners.Publisher PDFPeer reviewe

PC030. Unconscious Bias Training for our Simulated Patients: Showcasing a new and innovative workshop
Background:Unconscious biases are beliefs, attitudes and stereotypes that can affect our understanding and decisions in a way that we're not aware of. If steps aren't taken to avoid acting on such biases, it can lead to unfair treatments and discriminatory practices (General Medical Council).At the Hull York Medical School, we are committed to ensuring an inclusive environment and developing a culture of cultural competence which includes raising awareness of unconscious bias. We are fortunate to have a large pool of highly trained Simulated Patients (SPs) who can both simulate patient scenarios and deliver specific, descriptive and non-judgmental feedback in teaching sessions across all five years of the curriculum. Since the arrival of the covid pandemic, Simulated Patients have played a crucial role in the delivery of teaching and assessments across all five years of our MBBS programme. We are aware that, despite ongoing efforts, our Simulated Patient pool is less diverse than both our student and staff cohorts. This workshop is part of a wider school commitment to raise awareness of the impact of Unconscious Bias on our interactions with students, patients and staff. This training was informed by the adaptation of Bennett’s intercultural competency model1 by Teal et al2
