Saleyha Ahsan explores some of the aspects of medical care in WW1 that fascinate her most, given her experience as both an emergency medicine doctor and an ex-army officer. Saleyha travels to the beautiful 13th-Century abbey of Royaumont, to the north of Paris. It was here that the Scottish Women's Hospital movement established its first all-female run unit. Many of the women were suffragettes and as well as determined to put their skills to good use were also keen to demonstrate how they were any man's equal when it came to providing medical care in the most challenging circumstances.
