Listen to Audio Guides<\/strong><\/p>\n

There are many sites where audio files can be accessed that offer guidance and tips on GCSE courses. Many of these are quite expensive, others are simply inaccurate. As such we will only promote audio files that are available from sources where we know that the content is checked. If you have any additions that we can add, please contact us to help other people revise more effectively.<\/p>\n

The BBC website<\/a> hosts a series of audio files on many aspects of the various possible GCSE History courses. For medicine through time there are eight podcasts. They can be downloaded as a zip file, listened to online and the script for each can be accessed and printed out for annotation.<\/p>\n

Andallthat.co.uk<\/a> has a short list of recommended podcasts. They are currently on medicine in the Ancient World but the content is such that it was hugely influential into and beyond the medieval era.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
