Role of institutions-British government funding NHS, awareness campaigns, fighting lung cancer
Attitudes in society-expectation government funds NHS
Science & technology-experimentation and machines developed to new ways to diagnose (blood tests, CT scan), prevent (testing, vaccines) and treat (antibiotics, key hole surgery)
Individuals - Fleming (1920s) identified what it could do, Florey and Chain (1930s)- tested it on humans to prove it worked and got the US government to mass produce it
War-US and GB government knew they would need it in 1944 for D-Day and soldiers who were injured so funded mass production
Government-funded Florey and Chains first tests, funded mass production
Science & technology-Fleming, Florey and Chain did many experiments and used microscopes
Chance(luck)-spores of antibiotics WENT ON PETRIE dish. (Fleming noticing IS NOT CHANCE!)
