We've been using Exam Ninja since my daughter was in Year 2, and it has been really helpful. The resources are excellent and have made a big difference in supporting her learning and building her confidence. She enjoys using them, and I've found them very useful for revision and practice at home. Highly recommended!

About the Edexcel GCSE History Medicine in Britain Study Guide (Ages 14-16)

If your Year 10 or Year 11 student is preparing for Edexcel GCSE History, the Edexcel GCSE History Medicine in Britain Study Guide (Ages 14-16) from CGP offers clear, focused support for one of the most challenging thematic topics on the syllabus. Covering Medicine in Britain from c.1250 to the present day, this 112-page full-colour guide breaks down centuries of medical progress into manageable revision notes, worked examples, and exam-style questions designed to build genuine understanding and confidence.

This guide walks your child through the three question types in the Thematic Study—compare, explain, and essay—with step-by-step advice on structuring answers, using evidence, and thinking historically across different time periods. Activities labelled Knowledge and Understanding and Thinking Historically help pupils practise linking factors such as government action, scientific discovery, and changing attitudes. The Historic Environment section includes practice with sources, and worked answers show exactly what examiners are looking for, so revision feels less daunting and more purposeful.

Your child will arrive at the exam hall with a solid grasp of continuity and change over time, ready to tackle complex essay questions with evidence and analysis. The free online edition means they can revise on any device, fitting study around homework, mock exams, and family life. Because the guide is written specifically for the Edexcel GCSE specification, every page aligns with what your child will actually face in their exams, giving them the confidence to explain why medieval beliefs persisted or how the NHS transformed twentieth-century healthcare.

This study guide suits any Year 10 or 11 pupil following the Edexcel GCSE History course who wants to master the Medicine in Britain topic with clear notes, realistic practice, and expert exam guidance. It arrives as a physical book, and the included online edition ensures revision is always within reach.

  • Full-colour revision notes covering Medicine in Britain c.1250 to present, aligned to the Edexcel GCSE specification
  • Exam-style questions for all three Thematic Study question types, plus worked answers and examiner advice
  • Knowledge and Understanding and Thinking Historically activities to build skills in continuity, change, and comparison
