She became the first female graduate in 1895, where she compressed her studies by taking subjects concurrently, which allowed her to graduate ahead of her cohort. She then went on to receive her medical degree in 1901 in Glasgow. She gained prominence by becoming a consultant dermatologist in London, where she was one of the first women to be appointed consultant in a hospital not exclusively for women. She also worked as a radiographer in the Scottish Women’s Hospital during WWI, where she pioneered the use of X Ray technology to detect and manage the effects of gas gangrene. One of the more interesting studies she was involved in was when she conducted an inquiry into the inhumane treatment of female suffragists who were going through hunger strikes whilst in prison. Along with 3 distinguished doctors, she published medical papers on this subject. A student poll that was part of the University of St Andrews 600th centenary celebrations revealed Dr. Blackadder to be the most popular choice in renaming a new hall of residence. Subsequently, Agnes Blackadder Hall was named after her when it was renamed in 2012. <p>If you want to learn more about Agnes Blackadder, visit <a href="https://www.curious-sta.org/agnes-blackadder/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">here</a>.</p> Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource amm60 Europeana Specific elements of the Europeana Semantic Elements.
