Historique
Medical services within the counties of London and Middlesex were directed by the County Medical Officer of Health, who managed various medical officers including doctors, dentists, nurses, technical staff and clerical staff. The County Health Department's work included maternity and child health services, care and aftercare of the ill, prevention of illness, health education, school health services, mental health services and health control.
The Metropolitan Association of Medical Officers of Health was established on 3 April 1856 as a professional association for medical officers of health. The name was changed to the Society of Medical Officers of Health in 1873, and to the Society of Public Health in 1989.
