Are you studying the history of medicine for your GCSE history lessons or exams? We have what you need! In this video, we'll give you a detailed, in-depth analysis of EVERYTHING you need to know from ancient medicine – starting with Hippocrates' theory of the four humors and Galen's ideas on medicine, all the way to the medieval period , the Black Death and how people and the Catholic Church viewed the disease as well as its cures.
We will look at Islamic scholars and the role of Islamic medicine during this period. We will also cover the Renaissance period, all the advances made, and then look at the Victorian period, the role of key thinkers and important laws. Finally, we will look at modern medicine – starting with World War I, World War II and the reforms of medicine, particularly in England, as well as the rise of the NHS and modern methods of medicine.
