Description

A Social History of Medicine traces the development of medical practice from the Industrial Revolution through the twentieth century, drawing on a wide range of source material to chart the changing relationship between patients and practitioners. This comprehensive study explores the impact of institutional care, government intervention and scientific discovery on healthcare during this transformative period. By focusing on provincial areas and using local sources, the book illuminates the extent to which medical assistance was genuinely available to patients, introducing a variety of contemporary medical practitioners and their evolving roles. Essential reading for understanding how medicine, society and healthcare systems developed across England from 1750 to 1950.
