It assesses the extent of its involvement in the conflict while also interrogating the effect of global war on the development of Ireland’s domestic medical infrastructure, especially its hospital network. The study explores the factors that encouraged Ireland’s medical personnel to join the British Army medical services and uncovers how Irish hospital governors, in the face of increasing staff shortages and economic inflation, ensured that Ireland’s voluntary hospital network survived the war. It also considers how Ireland’s wartime doctors reintegrated into an Irish society that had experienced a profound shift in political opinion towards their involvement in the conflict and subsequently became embroiled in its own Civil War. In doing so, this book provides the first comprehensive study of the effect of the First World War on the medical profession in Ireland.Medicine and Biomedical Sciences in Modern HistoryImperialismMedicineHistoryMilitary historySocial historyHistory of Britain and Irelandhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/717020Imperialism and Colonialismhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/722000History of Medicinehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H64000History of Militaryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/721000Social Historyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/724000Great BritainHistoryImperialism.MedicineHistory.Military history.Social history.History of Britain and Ireland.Imperialism and Colonialism.History of Medicine.History of Military.Social History.940.47541940.47541Durnin Davidauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1228490BOOK9910484030303321The Irish Medical Profession and the First World War2851965UNINA
