In social sciences a paradigm shift replaces the former way of thinking or organizing with a radically different way of thinking or organizing. When enough significant anomalies have accrued against a current paradigm, the scientific discipline is thrown into a state of crisis. During this crisis, new ideas are tried. Eventually a new paradigm is formed, which gains its own new followers, and an intellectual "battle" takes place between the followers of the new paradigm and the hold-outs of the old paradigm.

  • Clinical Research in Britain 1950–1980
    Wellcome Witnesses to Twentieth Century Medicine CLINICAL RESEARCH IN BRITAIN 1950–1980 A Witness Seminar held at the Wellcome Institute for the History of Medicine, London, on 9 June 1998 Witness Seminar Transcript edited by L A Reynolds and E M Tansey Introduction by David Gordon Volume 7 – September 2000 CONTENTS Introduction David Gordon i Witness Seminars: Meetings and publications iii Transcript 1 Index 67 INTRODUCTION The British, it is said, are not revolutionary by nature. However, in the last century, we created two organizations that have revolutionized the possibility and reality of clinical research, with worldwide influence. The first was the formation of the Medical Research Council (MRC). The Medical Research Council was the successor of the Medical Research Committee, appointed in 1913 to administer funds provided under the National Health Insurance Act of 1911 (see note 49). While there may be doubt whether or not these funds were intended primarily for research into tuberculosis or for medical research more generally, we cannot doubt the boldness of the step. A government set aside money for medical research, rather than devoting the funds available for a medical problem solely to prevention, diagnosis and treatment. The second revolutionary step was the creation of the National Health Service. The National Health Service Act of 1946 gave Ministers powers not only to conduct research, but also to support the research work of others. The notion of a population- wide, compre h e n s i ve healthcare system, free to the patient at the point of consultation, and able to support the clinical infrastructure of research, was truly revolutionary, and might have been impossible were it not for the appetite for social change created by the Second World War.
