St George’s Hospital opens in Lanesborough House at Hyde Park Corner. The new hospital spreads over three floors and accommodates 30 patients. By 1744, the hospital grows to accommodate over 250 patients. A formal register of pupils studying under the physicians and surgeons is maintained from 1752. The earliest recorded course of lectures at the hospital is delivered by Sir Everard Home some time before 1803. The eminent anatomist and surgeon John Hunter begins to undertake courses of study at St George’s Hospital. Hunter is often referred to as the Father of Modern Surgery and is the first of many prominent figures in medicine to attend City St George’s. Former student Edward Jenner eventually develops the first vaccination against smallpox, which leads to the eventual eradication of the disease. The hide of Blossom, the cow used in Jenner’s smallpox experiment, was presented to the hospital in 1857 and has remained in City St George’s possession ever since.

Helen Inglby, one of the four women accepted alongside Ethelberta Claremont, Marian M. Bostock and Elizabeth O'Flynn, goes on to become Pathologist of the Albert Einstein Medical Centre in Philadelphia.
