CLEAR! - an illustrated reflection on the life of Frank Pantridge and his invention of the portable defibrillator
Known as both complex and outspoken, Frank Pantridge is widely regarded as the Father of Emergency Medicine. This exhibition charts Pantridge's life and work, from his student days at Queen's University Belfast and his time as a Prisoner of War during WWIl to his life at the Royal Victoria Hospital, where his famous invention came into existence. The legacy of the portable defibrillator is also explored, as it became more refined through the decades due to innovations in technology. Portable defibrillators now hang on the walls of public buildings across the world and are responsible for saving millions of lives.
The Naughton Gallery is open Tuesday to Sunday from 11.00am to 4.00pm. All are welcome.
