\n re-qualify. Fortunately, many more Austrian doctors, dental surgeons, psychotherapists and scientists in medically related areas found
\n refuge in Britain. A few \u2013 like Sigmund Freud \u2013 came as eminent figures. Another category consisted of high flying young research
\n scientists like Max Perutz. Most came under modest and often difficult circumstances as domestic servants and nurses.
\nThis paper adopts a \u201cwhole population\u201d approach and considers the cohort of (former) Austrian nationals and holders of Austrian
\nuniversity degrees in medicine and medically related subjects who arrived in Britain. Within this framework, individual life histories
\ngain in significance. Moreover, cohorts by birth, gender, and subsequent career can be identified.
\nMy contention is that the numbers of \u201cAustrians\u201d in the medical category amounts to nearly 500 individuals. This indicates that
\nthe Austrians were the third largest national cohort of medical refugees in Britain, following the Poles and the Germans.
\nThe paper will analyse the specialisms and occupations (as nursing) which Austrian medical refugees engaged in while in Britain.<\/p>\n
