Registers relating to the 2 + 1 course for student nurses. The 2 + 1 course was an extension of the 'experimental course' trialled in the mid-1960s (see NU/1/1/20): it involved a condensed two years of training followed by an intern year leading to registration. According to the oral history interview with Joan Clague (Chief Nursing Officer at the time: see NU/7/2/1), 'from the Autumn of ’69… the whole intake for registration went over to the 2 + 1', including graduate entrants. As it became the default pathway for students, the term '2 + 1' is not used consistently in the registers, and seems to have been gradually phased out by the 1980s (as course lengths continued to be experimented with for different student streams, e.g. '118 week course' and '166 week course').
The registers contain records of student attendance and assessment for different sections of the course (paediatrics, medicine, surgery, obstetrics, psychiatry, neurosurgery, etc), including placements at other hospitals (see name access points for list); they generally have additional typed documents (timetables, lecture lists, exam questions, allocation lists, etc) taped in. A majority also contain class photographs; Some also contain photographs and lists of student details/qualifications. The date ranges are as follows:
