The main reasons which help to explain this are AF2 Causation and Change Activity 3: Factors that help us to understand why change took place in Medicine Role of Individuals Individuals such as Marie Curie (radiotherapy), Alexander Fleming (Penicillin) and Crick and Watson (DNA) continued to investigate and make breakthrough discoveries to further medical thinking in causes, preventions and cures for illness. New Ideas Ideas about causes and cures of illness (such as hereditary and life cycle factors) have further developed with the discovery of antibiotics such as penicillin and continued research into methods such as gene therapy. Role of Government Government involvement in health care has continued to grow in the 20th Century especially as a result of the introduction of the National Health service (NHS) in 1948 and its continued expansion of health care services. FACTORS OF CHANGE 1900-present Science and Technology Rapid advances in science enabled scientists to discover the building blocks of human life, DNA, and technological developments (such as computerisation) and new techniques made new techniques possible. War The First World War 1914-18 and the Second World War 1939-45 encouraged governments to increase spending, research and experiment as new and better ways to treat casualties of war were sought. Communication and Education There was a huge increase in the education of General Practitioners and Hospital Doctors and surgeons, and greater training and communication within the medical profession and with government. How far did the changing ideas impact on medicine 1900-present? Focus: From Germ theory to genetics: X rays, Hi Tech medicine and surgery, implications of DNA discovery
