Dr Martin Moore
Membership Secretary
Martin Moore is the Membership Secretary for the Society. His role for the SSHM encompasses assisting members with renewals, supporting members with queries about their subscriptions with Oxford University Press, and developing scholarly communities among our membership.
Martin is a Lecturer in Medical History at the University of Exeter . A medical historian of Britain in the twentieth century, with specialist interests in the social, cultural and political histories of healthcare in twentieth-century Britain. His research has largely focused on the shifting political structures of medical professionalism and its intersections with the everyday labour and experiences of healthcare under the NHS. His current work explores the social and cultural life of time and temporality in post-war British general practice (as part of his work on the Wellcome Trust-funded Waiting Times team), as well as the persistence of forms of “private medicine” after 1948. His published works include Managing Diabetes, Managing Medicine (Manchester University Press, 2019), and Balancing the Self, edited with Mark Jackson (Manchester University Press 2020).
Martin welcomes media and policy enquiries about historical dimensions of the NHS, and academic review enquiries about histories of Britain’s health services, chronic disease and diabetes care, medical temporalities, and medical professionalism.
