The Provocateurs: Midwife crones fightback / When superbugs kill
Trained by an Edinburgh man-midwife (1786), Highland midwife Mrs. Cowper recorded 4000 births and no maternal deaths. Nicola Ring and Ness McHugh (Edinburgh Napier University) ask why the 100s of women Edinburgh’s world-leading men-midwives trained are historically invisible and dismissed as incompetent crones.
A cut. A cough. A routine infection. What happens when the medicine stops working? Superbugs are on the rise and they’re closer than you think. If you’re not scared yet, Professor Clare Taylor (Edinburgh Napier University) will terrify you.
14+ must be accompanied by an adult.
ALL SEATING IS UNRESERVED AND LATECOMERS MAY NOT BE ADMITTED
