Biographical history
The United Hospitals' Club, the second oldest medical dining club in London, was established on 14 February 1828, shortly after the separation in 1825 of the formerly united medical schools of Guy's and St Thomas' Hospitals. The rules stated that the club "shall consist of Physicians, Surgeons and Apothecaries, in actual practice, who have been educated either at St Thomas's or Guy's Hospitals". The number of members was limited to twenty-five. Four meetings were held a year at which each member could introduce not more than two professional visitors. Originally most of the members were former students, but by 1936 the club was "made up of equal numbers of the staffs and general practitioners of St Thomas's and Guy's" (from F.G. Parsons, The History of St Thomas's Hospital, vol. III p.68).
A history of the United Hospitals' Club was written in 1928 by Cuthbert Golding-Bird.
