Though the role would quickly develop, the initial purpose of the almoner was to perform means tests on patients in order to determine if they were eligible to receive free medical treatment. The addition of Stewart and subsequent almoners to the staff of voluntary hospitals was a significant step. Almoners are widely recognized to have been the forerunners to the modern-day hospital social worker, though in the pre-NHS era they also acted as financial inquiry officers. With her appointment to the Royal Free Hospital of London in 1895, Miss Mary Stewart became the first lady almoner in Britain. Through the examination of Mary Stewart's Almoners Report Book, this article considers the circumstances of her appointment, the role she performed, and the findings of her investigations. She fashioned the position into that of a medical social worker and undertook such duties as referring patients to other means of medical and charitable assistance, visiting patients' homes, and training almoners for positions at other voluntary hospitals. While in office, Stewart continually reshaped the role of almoner. The role expected of Stewart was to means test patients in order to ensure that only those deemed “appropriate” received free medical treatment, and to establish the extent to which the hospital was being abused by those who could afford to contribute toward their medical care. The Royal Free was a charitable hospital which offered free medical treatment to patients considered morally deserving but unable to afford medical care elsewhere. The first almoner was Miss Mary Stewart, a former Charity Organization Society employee, appointed at the Royal Free Hospital of central London in 1895.
