Medicine L22 - The Creation of the NHS

This lesson contains:

• A starter to recap previous course knowledge and an introduction to the NHS to see what students know about it.

• An activity for students to note down, from the on-board images and info, reasons why there were problems accessing care at the turn of the century.

• A task to make notes on the reasons for the NHS being created, including the increase in democracy, the impact of WW2 and the roles of William Beveridge and Aneurin Bevan.

• A YouTube video covering what services the NHS offered and a gap fill exercise to consolidate its impact.

• A brief summary of the resistance to the NHS.

• A plenary that has a quote from Tony Blair for students to argue for or against, and a final opportunity to do a practice exam question. Either can be used, or both depending on requirements.
