The ‘Women in Medicine’ project, coordinated by the Royal College of Physicians (RCP), showcases a number of today’s leading female clinicians and the women from the history of medicine who have inspired them. From 3 October 2017 to 19 January 2018, the RCP is hosting an exhibition of specially commissioned photographic portraits honouring these contemporary and historical medical figures.

Professor Joanna Wardlaw, Chair of Applied Neuroimaging and Head of Neuroimaging Sciences at the Centre for Clinical Brain Sciences at the University of Edinburgh, was selected for the project to represent the Royal College of Radiologists.  Professor Wardlaw was photographed with a portrait of Marie Curie, the first woman to win a Nobel Prize.
