DESCRIPTION
This course is an exciting opportunity to experience nursing and midwifery history in the UK and further afield focusing on major influences in the development of nursing and midwifery practice. Case studies are drawn from London, the UK and continental Europe, with comparative perspectives from the rest of the world where appropriate. Topics include the consequences of social change, evolving attitudes to social care, and the role of the Enlightenment, French revolution and American Independence in shaping cultures and practices of nursing care.
Medical breakthroughs, public health, epidemiology (social determinants of health), religion, philosophy, ethics, law, sociology and economics that have played a part and influenced clinical practice are discussed throughout the course. Field studies to a broad range of distinctive museums and galleries to consider the depth of nursing and midwifery history as well as lectures by professionals from Public Health and Epidemiology fields are distinguishing elements of the course.
Course is cross-listed with HIS313.
