Industrialisation affected medicine in many ways.

Communications developed, allowing ideas to be exchanged more quickly. Both the telegraph and the railways developed during this time.

Wars with France and in the Crimea led to improved surgical procedures and nursing care.

New factories and better technology could produce more sophisticated medical implements, such as fine syringe needles, or powerful lenses for microscopes.

How did industrialisation affect medicine?

Progress in science led to many medical discoveries which were beyond understanding before. Doctors moved away from Galen’s ideas and looked for scientific reasons for illness.

Industrial towns were overcrowded and people lived in cramped, quickly-built, poor-quality housing. Health was badly affected as infectious diseases spread rapidly.

Another important effect of industrialisation was that many people moved to towns to work.

Why did these diseases become enormous problems in the new

industrial towns?

Housing was overcrowded (often

10 people in one room) and often

damp.

There was little sanitation.

Lack of fresh water – water was often

contaminated with sewage.

Poor diet, pollution and long working hours in factories

weakened people’s resistance to diseases.

Why don’t people in Britain suffer from these

diseases today?

Why did disease flourish in industrial towns?

Louis Pasteur had discovered the link between germs and disease.

Diseases such as smallpox could be prevented by vaccination.

Surgical operations improved with the development of anaesthetics and antiseptics.

Public Health Acts forced local authorities to clean up their towns, supply clean water and build proper sewers, making them safer and healthier places to live.

Great advances had been made in medicine and science in the second half of the 19th century:
