I am avid history buff and my passion is dedicated to preserving the history of Nursing and Hospitals in the UK.
I am particularly keen on the history of Nursing badges and medals which were awarded to nurses upon qualifying following training.I currently have several hundred items which are often miniature works of art in their own right and often record the history of the different awarding hospitals and Schools of Nursing.I hope to add images here for a greater appreciation of the subject
