Topics included:

• What was medicine like before World War One?

• Injuries and illness on the Western Front
• Improvements in treatment that developed in World War One, including blood transfusions and mobile x-rays.

Worksheets to print out are included at the end of the Powerpoint.

Accompanies Pearson Edexcel GCSE (1-9) Medicine through Time, c1250-present textbook, but most of the workbook can be taught without this.
