The RAMC, FANY and Four Stages of Evacuation

IMPORTANT: Some of these activities refer to the textbook “Edexcel GCSE (9-1) History, Medicine through time, c1250-present” (editor Leonard A. and published by Pearson) ISBN 9781292127378 and will not be usable without a copy of this text.

This Edexcel 9-1 GCSE unit nominally covers 2 lesson but in practice will take at least 3-4 depending upon your class and their overall ability/work rate.

Aims and Objectives:

• To learn about the work of the RAMC and FANY. The system of transport, stages of treatment and underground hospital at Arras.

The Power Point leads students through all activities with accompanying worksheets/resources. It also provides worked examples and exam advice. Activities include an ordering of the four stages of evacuation starter, a listening exercise with student diagram, independent note-taking, an 8 mark source evaluation exam question, a plenary of medical scenarios whereby students decide how far to pass the student along the chain of evacuation and when to award the sought after “Blighty” award, a cloze exercise with source extension on the work of FANY, and a four mark follow up question.
