Audio Descriptive Talk and Tea: First Aid to the Injured, 1878

This month join Archivist, Sophie Denman, to explore one of the early copies of First Aid to the Injured, the first manual of first aid published by the St John Ambulance Association. This pocket-sized book is small but mighty. First published in 1878, it set out the standard of training and followed the syllabus of the Association's classes.

This is a free event and takes place in the Museum Galleries which have step-free access throughout. For more information on getting to the Museum and our facilities please visit the website or call us on 020 7324 4005. Lines are monitored Wednesday - Saturday 9:30am - 5pm. Alternatively, you can email us on [email protected].

Our guides have all been trained by VocalEyes. Once you have booked, there is no need to print your order confirmation or ticket - we will just ask for your name on the door. Numbers are limited to ensure everyone gets an opportunity to handle the objects. If you book and your plans change, please drop us a line so we can release your tickets. Many thanks!
