I well remember my first meeting with Jerry Morris. It was in the autumn of 1985 during a Society for the Social History of Medicine conference at the Institute of Historical Research in the University of London. The subject was From Public Health to Community Medicine'. I then knew little of this topic, but, as Chair of the Society, I introduced our President, Professor Margot Jefferys, a well-known medical sociologist, speaking on The Transition from Public Health to Community Medicine: The Evolution and Execution of a Policy for Occupational Transformation'. I noticed that, as Margot began to speak, a man came into the room and stood at the back. When Margot finished speaking, he indicated his wish to comment. After some minutes, I began to think that the chair's intervention might be needed. Who was this commentator and should he be tactfully encouraged to let others take the floor? But
Social medicine
Redefining social medicine and public health
Redefining the public health occupation
New public health'
Black and inequalities
