In this episode of The Compendium, Adam takes us on a captivating journey through the history of healthcare in the UK before the NHS was established. From the medieval period to the early 20th century, he unravels key moments that led to the creation of the beloved free national health service.
We explore the role of monasteries as the sole refuge for those seeking free healthcare, the emergence of voluntary hospitals funded by philanthropists, the struggles of the poor in workhouses, and the challenges faced by different social classes in accessing medical care.
As we celebrate the 75th anniversary of the NHS, join us as we gain a deeper appreciation for our healthcare system as we explore the fascinating history of healthcare in the UK and understand how the NHS came to be.
