Writing about the history of Hepatology would necessarily imply writing about the history of the Liver Unit and the School of Hepatology created by Dr. Sheila Scherlock at the Royal Free Hospital (London). On the 70th anniversary of the creation of the first liver unit (Hammersmith Hospital) this article presents a brief account of the history, organization, structure, educational program and contributions of perhaps the first and the most influential medical research models created for the study of liver diseases: the Royal Free Hospital Liver Unit.
