A Social History of Medicine traces the development of medical practice over a period of enormous change, from the Industrial Revolution right through to the twentieth century. Drawing on a wide range of source material, it charts the changing relationship between patients and practitioners over this period, exploring the impact made by institutional care, government intervention and scientific discovery.

The text offers an extensive thematic survey, including coverage of:
* institutions such as hospitals, dispensaries, asylums and prisons
· midwifery and nursing
· * infections and how changes in science have affected · disease control
· * contraception, war, and the NHS. A Social History of · Medicine in England provides an engaging introduction to · the subject which will appeal to students and teachers · alike.
