CDs for Medicine & Health Through Time

Breaking News: Medicine CD1 - Now Available

New from SHP & Hodder Murray - 2 CDs for Medicine & Health Through Time.

CD1 is now available - CD2 will be out in November.

Authors: Ian Dawson and Dan Moorhouse

Guaranteed to get your heart beat going! Exploring what we can do on CD to support teachers of medicine has been really exciting.

We began by thinking how to use features of the ‘white book’ on screen – great for that brilliant artwork and activity on 14th century London or the decision-making activity ‘Can you survive in Ancient Rome?’ Then we brought in new material – images and newsreel - asking students to create their own web-pages or make moviemaker stories on public health, and then we realized we could embed short pieces of film into activities so you can use scenes and artefacts from the Thackray Museum in your own classroom or predict how Sir Edward Redmayn will choose to be bled by his surgeon.

We hope this will be really helpful to teachers, motivating for students and enjoyable for all.
