The cover of a medieval manuscript of Avicenna's Canon of Medicine, held at the Wellcome Library

The Wellcome Library are hosting an editathon on 26th February 2014, to improve Wikipedia articles about medicine and health in the widest sense, including the history of medicine. This free public event is part of the partnership between Jisc and Wikimedia UK and is led by Martin Poulter, the ambassador between the two charities.

The event will take place from 11am to 4pm, with lunch provided. We will go through basic wiki training before lunch, then work directly on Wikipedia, with experienced Wikipedians and Wellcome Library staff on hand.

An online booking form is in progress. There will also be a sign-up page on Wikipedia for experienced users.
