Tuesday, 25 July marked St James's Day 2023. To celebrate the hospital's namesake, we asked patients, their family members and staff to tell us what St James's Hospital means to them 🏥
Below is a handful of the incredible messages we received 😁

Below is the first known picture ever taken of a woman. Her name is Dorothy Catherine Draper. The daguerreotype was made in the summer of 1840 by Dorothy’s brother, John William Draper, on the roof of New York University, where he worked as a chemistry professor.
John powdered Dorothy’s face with flour to enhance the contrast. She then sat motionless for 65 seconds for the picture to be made.
The daguerreotype became forgotten over time, but was brought back to the public’s attention when it was displayed at the 1893 Chicago World’s Fair.
Dorothy was age 86 and became somewhat of a celebrity at the fair, remaining alongside her 1840 daguerreotype and talking with visitors about the process of the picture being made.
Dorothy passed away on December 10, 1901 at the age of 94, her youthful age of 33 forever being captured as the first woman ever photographed.
@HolohanZoe Hi Zoe, you need you call your bank and ask for a fixed rate options letter sent out which will give you options to fix, you don’t have to chose one and you have 30 days to decide once you get the letter. Do it asap as the rates are set to rise again. G’luck !
Two buttons from the WWII Royal Air Force uniform are designed to be put together in an emergency.
They make a mini-compass for use if you get shot down behind enemy lines.
Was top secret till 1950.
