Ep.7 - Past & Present - Public Health

Casenotes Past & Present is a Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh podcast. In this episode we explore the history of public health, including the impact of unclean water, food shortages, marshy land and slaughter houses. We then speak to Professor Mahmood Adil who has 25 years of experience working in public health in the NHS and the United States. And, to finish off, we look at one of the most important moments in the history of public health - John Snow and the Broad Street pump.
