What's on

Visit us at Osler House, the Medical Students' Club House! Discover the history and architecture of this converted 1930's residence or simply pop by for games in the garden.

Located in Headington in the grounds of the John Radcliffe hospital, this art deco venue is steeped in history. The venue is named after the highly regarded Canadian doctor, Sir William Osler, who is widely considered the father of modern medicine. He pioneered bringing students out of lecture halls and taught instead at the patient's bedside to enhance learning and nurture experience. He also created the first-ever residential training programmes for doctors.

When not in use as a venue for workshops, meetings and garden parties, the University's medical students still enjoy this historic building as their clubhouse.
