Hello,
I am very interested in this subject matter. I have a few items (that are photographed - just need to work out how to post them on here) and would love some more to collect and have in my personal collection.
I am a serving Prison Officer and currently work in a high security Psych unit in a large London prison. We normally discharge to Broadmoor and several other smaller local special units as well.
Several of my colleagues are ex RMN's from the Special Hospital Service and are now "Hospital Screws" in HM Prison Service and have many tales to tell about their old days.
I am interested in any badges, photographs or tales of the staff that did/do this very difficult and overlooked part of nursing.
Garry
