Medicine in Modern Britain 1780-1950 provides an introduction to
the development of medicine - scientific and heterodox, domestic
and professional - in Britain from the end of the early modern
period and through modern times. Divided thematically, each chapter

diseases, ideas, practices, institutions, practitioners and the
state. This book centres on an era of rapid and profound change in
medicine and gives students all they need to establish a solid
understanding of the history of medicine in Britain, by offering a
clear and coherent narrative of the changes and continuities in
medicine, including names, dates, events and ideas. Each aspect of
medicine discussed within the book is explored and contextualised,
providing an overview of the wider social and political background
that surrounded them. The chapters are followed by a documents
section, containing important primary sources to encourage students
to engage with original material. With a selection of images,
tables, a who's who of all the key people discussed and a glossary
of terms, Medicine in Modern Britain 1780-1950 is essential reading
for all students of the history of medicine in Britian.
