British Medical Association War Memorial

You are approaching the British Medical Association House, a building that serves as the headquarters for the nation's doctors. Within its quiet courtyard, you will find a memorial dedicated to the medical professionals of the British Empire and Commonwealth who died during the Second World War. This structure is a fountain designed by the sculptor James Woodford, featuring a central staff of Aesculapius, a traditional symbol of medicine. Four stone statues surround the water, each representing the virtues of sacrifice, cure, prevention, and aspiration.
