How will these resources help you?

The Geography of Disease is a popular unit at KS3, and feeds into many areas of specifications of GCSE and A-level. These resources bring a fresh perspective and have been carefully selected to avoid the many produced by health statisticians or medical professionals that are not suited to the teacher of Geography. For the specialist and non-specialist alike, these resources explain how disease touches multiple areas of geography, including the obvious spatial mapping, the impacts on globalisation, and how our interactions with the environment expose us to new pathogens for which we have no immunity. A focus throughout has been on giving the students the opportunity to review and analyse a wide range of geographical information, a key requirement at every level.
