The Departments of Medical Eelectronics, St. Bartholomew's Hospital--the first ten years.

The organisation of an electronics department required to support the work of a large teaching hospital is described. The research and development programme involves the interaction of graduates from many disciplines since problems can emerge from any of the specialities, for example general surgery, obstetrics and gynaecology, clinical neurophysiology. Examples from the research and development programme of the department are described in order to illustrate the range of medical electronic techniques needed to provide adequate support for the clinical research programmes which have received support from the Joint Research Board of the Hospital and Medical College.
