Another fantastic series of letters to help your students delve into the Medicine in Britain module. These letters focus in on Renaissance medicine (c.1500-c.1700) - one of the trickiest periods to get a handle on with its mixture of continuity and change.
The letters are written by new physician (and woman-in-disguise) Jenny Tarlestone as she moves to London and gets up to date with both the changes and continuity in medicine at this time. She spends time with Thomas Sydenham, attends the Royal Society and even battles the Great Plague.
These letters are a fantastic resource to introduce students to a topic in a non-threatening and entertaining way filled with facts and knowledge. They also can function well as a revision tool - allowing students to refresh their memory - over the 2-year GCSE course, it is amazing what gets forgotten!
This is the second in the series, you can find the first collection of letters which cover Medieval medicine also on TES, created by me (HerodotusTeacher) - there is no direct connection, they operate independently of each other but have the same combination of readability and information.
If you like this, please don’t hesitate to get in touch to request further letter series on ANY topic. Industrial Medicine and Modern Medicine will be coming soon!
