Blood, Bones and Brains: The History of Biomedical Science

The Liberal Reformation: The Early History of the NHS

Hello again, you fine people!

Today's podcast is a touch-and-go history of British Healthcare between 1850 ish and 1942 as a foundation for more of the topics we will be discussing in the future.

The images taken from various places across the internet are of 1) Otto Von Bismarck, 2) David Lloyd-George, 3) Winston Churchill and 4) William Beveridge.

My sources this week have been of course Wikipedia but also:
