The Sociology of Health and Medicine

I understand that not too many teachers offer the sociology of health these days. That’s a shame because it’s an important topic - maybe the AS/A level syllabuses available now make the mistake of trying to cover a small number of topics in too much depth, rather than a thinner treatment across a broader range? But never mind that; to catch a useful dose of the sociology of health and medcine check in to R4’s Thinking Allowed. There is also discussion of cosmopolitanism from Prof. David Held of the LSE.
