Thanks

I don't think you will get any example questions on 19th and 20th century surgery because that is THIS year's topic.
However, you can see examples of the KINDS of questions here:
Specimen Paper (Florence Nightingale)

I'll ask on the Teachers' forum to see if anyone knows of any other examples.

Thank you very much for this. I can do this as it will be good practise.

When they say C19th and C20th will topics such as hygene come up, ie Florence Nightingale as she was very important with developing nursing techniques that obviously effects the preparation of an operating theatre?

Well, obviously, she COULD because she is there in the specimen paper.
However, I would think it unlikely, because:
1. she has already been on the specimen paper
2. she is not really mainline 'surgery', is she?
The specification lists these topics as 19th and 20th century surgery:

Quote

Surgery:
developments in anaesthetics and antiseptics, including the work of Simpson and Lister;
developments in blood transfusion;
modern surgery – transplanting organs and plastic surgery.

Here is last year's Paper 2 on Surgery (Florence Nightingale didn't feature). This is the mark scheme. The section for Medicine Paper 2 starts on page 112.
