A fact from this article was featured on Wikipedia's Main Page in the On this day section on August 16, 2021 and August 16, 2023.

Which professional bodies?

What are the bodies being referred to here: "Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons, Edinburgh, and the Faculty of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow"?

Please note that the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh and the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh are two separate bodies. Is "Faculty" meant to refer to the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow? --Mais oui! 07:49, 16 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

To clarify: The Faculty of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow became the Royal Faculty of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow in 1909, and was further transformed into the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow in 1963. NRPanikker (talk) 15:29, 2 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Triple qualification explained

@Mai oui! perhaps you have already found the answer - three organisations are the RCPE RCSEd and RCPSG and their combined qualifications offered (women and others) entry to medicine as triple qualification see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triple_Qualification Kaybeesquared (talk) 21:13, 12 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Heroic Leadership??

I found a leaflet entitled "Support and Substitution”: Women’s Roles during World War I" from the era catalogued at McMaster University in Hamilton[1] and regarding Elsie Inglis it states that she led 8,000 Serbian soldiers overland to safety from Romania to England to evade Russian ambush in WWI. If this is true, I'd like to see this included in the Wiki article.

This is extremely unlikely. Elsie Inglis was in Serbia in 1915, after which she was captured and repatriated to the UK. She continued her work in Odessa in 1916 but was forced back to the UK again in 1917 due to ill health. She died of cancer in 1917. There would have been no time for her to do any of these things and she never was in Romania when Serbian troops were formed there (which was 1917 and 1918) anyway. Two possibilities remain. One, that another Scottish nurse was involved in this operation and the name got mixed up or, more likely, that bits and pieces of different stories got conflated into one. In any case, Inglis was exceptionally heroic and she did save many more than just 8000 through her humanitarian work. She is remembered as a great hero in Serbia.--As286 (talk) 16:44, 17 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Improved NPOV?

Edits have now been made to some of the language to improve NPOV, is it enough to remove the tag, or can other editors help find alternative citations to permit this to be removed? Thanks Kaybeesquared (talk) 18:42, 1 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
