Description

In this unit, pupils study a specific historical environment. They learn about the local context of this area and the way in which it interacted with national issues and the themes they have studied in their thematic study.

This unit uses and builds on the previous key stage 4 unit where pupils learnt about a theme through British history and the experiences of those touched by that theme. This unit prepares pupils for any further study of Britain in periods in which these historical environments are set, or of any other historical environments.

  1. The historical context of medicine in the early twentieth century
  2. The British sector of the Western Front
  3. Conditions requiring medical treatment on the Western Front
  4. The Chain of Evacuation on the Western Front
  5. Medical treatment in Casualty Clearing Stations and Base Hospitals
  6. The significance of the Western Front for experiments in surgery and medicine

  • A strong working knowledge of the relevant thematic study with which this unit is paired
