Teaching aids

Materials used as aids to teaching, including lecture notes, handmade reference books, patient observation charts, and slides

Kingston lecture notes

Typed and annotated lecture notes (stamped 'Kingston County Hospital, Kingston-on-Thames') on nursing subjects, including artificial feeding, bedmaking, baths, enemas, etc.

Practical Nursing: Trays and Trolleys

Exercise book labelled 'Practical Nursing: Trays and Trolleys' containing hand-drawn diagrams and instructions about how to lay out trays and trolleys for various nursing scenarios; the reverse of the book also contains notes on bandaging. No author is credited, nor is their affiliated hospital explicitly named.

Kingston instrument book

Hardback exercise book stamped 'Kingston and District Hospital, Kingston-on-Thames' and labelled 'Instruments etc', with an ownership inscription by Olive Bradbury (nurse tutor at Kingston Hospital, c.1942-1966). The book contains pasted-in diagrams of medical instruments (cut out of a commercial catalogue) with handwritten descriptions of their function.

Observation charts

Set of 10 boards (and one piece of card) with patient observation charts – recording temperature, pulse rate, and respiration – affixed to one or both sides. Six of the boards have additional labels stating the disease of the patient (e.g. scarlet fever, smallpox, typhoid, miliary tuberculosis, etc.), indicating that they were used to illustrate characteristic temperature patterns.

Slides

Plastic slide box containing 17 colour slides – apparently a commercially produced set – of patients in hospital beds (each image numbered and labelled with the patient's condition), and a further two slides of diagrams of the human heart (labelled 'St James' Hospital Photographic Department').

Note that the St James' slides were originally loose in the collection, but have been added to this slide box by the archivist for convenience of storage: no direct connection with the other slides should be inferred.

District Procedures binders

Set of three ring binders containing outlines of 'district procedures' (i.e. for the Wandsworth and East Merton District Health Authority), both medical (e.g. 'Cardiac Arrest', 'Temperature (taking of)') and administrative (e.g. 'Patients' Property', 'Deceased Patients (Last Offices)'), arranged alphabetically (C-G, H-R, and S-W) and separated with dividers. Some relate to specific hospitals (St George's; Springfield). Each entry includes lists of 'dangers/special points and related action', principles, equipment, and 'key points'.

The spines of two of the binders are labelled 'District Procedures: Spares', indicating that multiple copies of these documents were kept for reference by hospital staff.

State final exam papers ring binder

Ring binder labelled 'State final exam papers' and 'School of Nursing Library, H.P.C. [Hyde Park Corner]' containing copies of final state exam papers for the general part of the register (set by the General Nursing Council for England and Wales) from 1969 to 1979

Loose exam papers

Loose exam papers dating from earlier periods than those in the library ring binders, including 20 General Nursing Council state papers (various subjects, 1937-1949), two St George's hospital papers (1939), one from the Surrey Education Committee (Home Nursing exam, 1914), and one from an unnamed institution ('Junior Nurses' Examination', 1949)

Nursing library bibliography

Set of index cards (separated with alphabetical dividers) listing and summarising articles about nursing libraries, including their use, development, and administration. Some of the cards have copies of typed abstracts affixed.

The final card contains a critical appraisal of the entire index: 'I appreciate the enormous industry and compulsive writing that has gone into this – the second largest bibliography I have received in 22 years – but, as you know, I have reservations about it […]'. These remarks are signed J. B. [James Brian] Tooley (11/2/87), who taught in the School of Librarianship at Ealing College of Higher Education, indicating that this bibliography was presumably compiled by a trainee librarian as coursework. It is unclear how it ended up being donated to St George's.
