A-level curriculum matching

'Big Picture on Drug Development' is particularly relevant to the following topics

Biology, for example:

• disease in a global context
• the principles of preventative medicine
• disease control
• antibacterial properties of plants – where drugs come from.

Sociology, for example:

• the unequal social distribution of health and diseases
• inequalities in the provision of, and access to, health care.

The topics covered by this issue of 'Big Picture' could also be addressed as a cross-curricular set of lessons/project based on contributions from some or all of these areas.
