RESUMO
Relata a regulamentação das profissões de saúde na Inglaterra, de 1815 a 1858, momento em que também acontecia a reforma sanitária, decorrente das epidemias do período, e no qual os profissionais se dedicaram ao auxílio aos doentes. Na falta de clareza sobre as atribuições técnicas de cada profissional, o campo de práticas não regulamentadas ficou condicionado a dois papéis fornecimento de conselhos médicos e/ou manuseio de fórmulas. Três importantes medidas modificaram o campo das práticas em medicina e em farmácia o Ato dos Apotecários, de 1815, o Ato Farmacêutico, de 1852, e o Ato Médico, de 1858. Constatou-se a mistura de interesses do Estado, dos profissionais e da sociedade inglesa.
ABSTRACT
The article recounts the process of regulating the health professions in England from 1815 to 1858. Impelled by the period's epidemics, this was also the time of the sanitary reform, in which health professionals devoted themselves to aiding the ill. Since the technical attributions of each type of professional were not clearly defined, this field of un-regulated practices became divided into two areas the provision of medical advice and the manipulation of formulas. Three important measures changed the field of medical and pharmacological practices the Apothecaries Act (1815), the Pharmacy Act (1852), and the Medical Act (1858). These laws were a mixed reflection of the interests of the State, medical professionals, and British society.
