School Doctors

Herbert Aldersmith (1847–1918): Christ's Hospital medical officer and co-founder of the Medical Officers of Schools Association

Trevor Hoskins 

Herbert Aldersmith spent his entire working life, from the age of 23 years until his retirement at 65 years, as Resident Medical Officer to Christ's Hospital School. It was a crucial period in the school's history, from the overdue reforms of the late Victorian era to its historic move from the City of London to Sussex in 1902. He became an acknowledged authority on ringworm and also published extensively on the other great interest of his life, the British–Israel Society. He was the prime mover in founding the first-ever professional association of school doctors in 1884.
