GCSE History: Medicine – From Miasma to Germ Theory

A GCSE History course on one of the biggest turning points in the history of medicine: how ideas about the causes of disease changed in the 18th and 19th centuries – from miasma and spontaneous generation to Jenner’s vaccination, John Snow’s cholera map, Pasteur’s germ theory, Koch’s bacteria and Lister’s antiseptics – and how to write about change and continuity in a thematic study.
