The surgical beds are arranged infive units, each unit having its own operation theatre,with anaesthetising, recovery, sterilising, testing, andapparatus rooms, and its own class-room attached.

- All of these units are occupied. The gynaecological,aural, and out-patient departments each have theirown operating theatre. Bacteriological investiga-tions are carried out in a special clinical laboratory.A department for the study of heart disease, withan electric cardiograph and other instruments forresearch, diagnosis, and teaching purposes is attachedto the medical wards. There is also a laboratoryfor clinical research. In the educational block is alarge lecture theatre and a museum. In the samebuilding is housed the X ray department, which hasnine separate X ray outfits for different purposes, andin which one large room is put aside specially forX ray demonstrations and teaching purposes. A largemassage school is also connected with this department.

Associated with the Infirmary are : (1) the Con-valescent Hospital at Cheadle, containing 132 beds ;and (2) the Central Branch in the City, which hasaccommodation for 54 patients. The AssociatedHospitals thus contain 776 beds and are under thesame management. Women students are admittedon the same terms as men.Two Entrance Scholarships in Medicine of the value
