Leagues of Friends are charities that provide 'personal service to patients' and 'supply hospitals with equipment not likely to come from the budgeting of authorities'. Hundreds continue to exist, and many trace their origins to before the NHS's foundation in 1948. Despite the rich and growing historiographies of voluntarism and the NHS, Leagues have received little attention. This article uses case studies of Leagues in the English West Midlands to show how 'friendship' symbolised the relationship between local NHS institutions and the communities they served. The cases show that voluntarism in British healthcare has not always been based around activism and consumerism, two areas that recent scholarship has rightly highlighted, especially from the 1960s. This allows historians to interrogate the regional and local differences within, ostensibly, a highly centralised national health system.

This article investigates the history of midwifery from the 1920s to 1940s in China through looking at the linkage between modern midwifery and maternal mortality in urban areas. It first shows that people’s perceptions of maternal mortality and its causes changed from the nineteenth to the twentieth century, and that a modern form of midwifery service took shape in the Republican era (1912–49) in order for reducing maternal mortality rate and building a strong nation. Evidence from urban areas of Beijing and Sichuan between the 1920s and the 1940s demonstrates that the practice of modern midwifery varied with medical infrastructure and personnel in different places, and that modern midwives in small towns may practise against the rules, taking the initiative to use forceps and perform surgery to save mothers’ lives. The relationship between modern midwifery and maternal mortality in the researched period was more complex than medical experts’ anticipation.

This manuscript focuses on the incidents, trials at courts of honour and duels involving important figures at the University of Buenos Aires School of Medical Sciences, which ruptured the peaceful surface of this institution in order to protect epistemic practices and settings. The existence in itself of the honour culture in the Buenos Aires aristocratic elite is, perhaps, as curious as its use by distinguished local doctors with the purpose of resolving disputes caused by clashing interests—which were related to their profession and experimental work. The conflicts discussed here shed light on a classic issue in the social history of science, technology and medicine: the collective bargaining of credibility in matters personal, professional and research-related.
