Joris Vandendriessche, Medical Societies and Scientific Culture in Nineteenth-Century Belgium
Joris Vandendriessche has written an interesting and timely book about the learned medical societies in nineteenth-century Belgium. Until recently, they received scant historical attention. According to the author, this has to do with the dominance of the concept of profession, which refers to efforts to improve the social status of physicians. The author himself is inspired by historical research that pays attention to the performative dimension…
The Medical Council in Belgian hospitals
Archetype-theory gained prominence in the literature dealing with the ‘‘managerialization’’ of professional organizations. However, this theory has been criticized. Due to its functionalist legacy it underplays the role of agency in the organizational structure or in its change. Following this critique we develop a political perspective on the relation profession – management. Such a view stresses the interlocking of organization and domination. …
Making the normal deviant
Regulation and Trust in Action
This article addresses the question of how problem doctors are defined and dealt with at the hospital level, where the possibility to observe practice is at its highest. Some general problems of the Belgian hospital scene impeding regulation of doctors in hospitals are discussed. Further, two large, prominent Flemish hospitals are studied in more detail. Although there are many similarities between the hospitals, they also differ in crucial aspec…

The medical profession and alternative medicine in the Netherlands
Continuity or Discontinuity in the Self-Regulation of the Belgian and Dutch Medical Professions
This paper looks at the recent developments in the field of medical quality assurance in Belgium and the Netherlands. It takes the viewpoint that there is a strong relationship between regulation and quality assurance on the one hand and the health care environment on the other hand. The reasons for the differences between the two countries, which are conspicuous, will be explored
The Belgian medical profession, the order of physicians and the sickness funds (1900-1940)
How a profession is regulated and by whom are generally considered to be crucial questions. In Belgium, the most important regulator of the medical profession is the Order of Physicians. This institution is generally acknowledged to be a cornerstone of the Belgian profession's 'overwhelming dominance' and great autonomy. In this article, I will discuss the developments which led to the establishment of the Order of Physicians in 1938. One of the …
Pharmacists and medical doctors in nineteenth-century Belgium
In this article the main areas of conflict between the medical and the pharmaceutical professions in Belgium in the 19th century are outlined. The medical profession was dominant in the division of labour and the pharmacists were not allowed to threaten its position. However, pharmacists were also able to achieve their objectives - geographical expansion of their officially recognized monopoly and the safeguarding of the pharmacist's key role in …
The legal and institutional development of the Belgian medical profession in the nineteenth century
The Belgian medical profession clearly suffered from a lack of internal coherence in the nineteenth century. The interests and objectives of, for example, the Royal Academy of Medicine, the provincial medical boards and the Fédération Médicale Beige, were by no means homogeneous. And even within the Federation itself, there tended to be a split on every question of tactics. In this article, two general trends will be described: the legal unificat…
