Schools of Nursing Forum

Hi all,

Just wanted to let you know that we (LJMU Special Collections & Archives) have just installed a timeline exhibition showcasing the history of Liverpool's nursing training history in collaboration with LJMU's Faculty of Health.

The timeline is located in the Tithebarne St building on the ground floor of 79 Tithebarn Street, Liverpool, L2 2ER.

It's a bit too large to show well in photos, so an accessible version of the text (with credits and bibliography) has been reproduced here in this blog post for anyone interested.

With very best wishes all,

Christopher.

Hi.  Apologies to the members still reading and adding to the site.  It will remain open for as long as that happens... As you probably know I do not regularly add to the site as age has its drawbacks.

But right now we are on holiday again until early Oct (in UK) and do have a couple of additions planned for later in Oct.

Please do comment if you feel inclined.
Very Best,
Will.

I have put several posts on the FB group promoting this site & will continue to do so.  It's a fantastic resource & as you know I keep uploading my badges and this site makes it easier for me to view my badges as they get stored on re photographed.  Please keep up the great work.

i know that finding , that elusive , must have but never found badge There are 2 scottish ones I have only ever seen a photo of. The Oban + one other which will remain a secret That is until I find one and buy it!!Mum's the word x

I have been tremendously lucky in the number and variety of badges that have passed through my collection,but as ever there are a few that have eluded me.
Although all of my collecting is now transient I still like to handle and photograph the more interesting items still out there before I move them on.
Like many of us I still have a number of badges on my most wanted list.some I don't even have pictures of but know of their existence.these include the Asylum Workers Association,AWA a star badge with the letters to the centre.
st Katherine's nurses,an early nursing group,(there is one in the royal collection).The Matrons Council,medal with MC to the centre.Queen Alexandra's Nurses badge 1899- 1901, awarded to nurses from the boer war( always V.expensive) Glasgow gold typhoid medal . You never know I might be lucky one day.
