About Andrew Relf

Now semi-retired with over 45 years working within the NHS and Pharmaceutical Industry. Now a Medical Historian and Restorer of Medical Antiques. Researching for Medical History is now the basis of my talks which are designed for a general audience, I do not use medical jargon & my presentations are informative, humorous & well illustrated.

Ideal for U3a, Rotary, WI, Probus, Social Groups but also of interest to Historical Societies and General interest Groups.

I provide illustrated PowerPoint presentations using non medical jargon and can tailor or research talks to meet specific interests.
I have put East of England as a Region but happy to be flexible to other areas in Southern England.

My website (note : specialised for my own Medical Antique business) may help provide some additional background information www.noahmedicalcollectibles.com

(Update January 2024 - I have been speaking to groups since 2014 and donate any fees given to charity, [two nominated each year] but regrettably with the cost of fuel I am now having to cover my expenses and then donating the remainder to charity.)
