What has Sovereign Hill got to do with Health?
This was the question the Damascus College VET Allied Health students were asked prior to heading to the open-air museum in Golden Point for a different learning opportunity. What better way to understand infection control and prevention strategies than stepping into the past, in all its dirty, smelly glory?
Our VET Allied Health students investigated the various ways people in the past managed (or didn’t manage) their individual health and the health of their community. By now, we as a population, are very used to infection control techniques (sanitising stations, hand washing methods, social distancing etc) and preventing the spread of illness and disease methods but 170 years ago, all this was a foreign concept.
One thing is for sure, we can be collectively grateful for modern sewage systems and toilets.
