St George's Nursing Collection

  • 406 NU
  • Colección
  • c.1830-2015

Collection charting the development of nursing education at St George's and related institutions from the 19th century to the present day.

The collection includes:

  • Student registers, training and examination records, prospectuses and syllabuses
  • Administrative records, including committee minutes, reports, rules and regulations
  • Publications and printed material including books, newsletters and journals
  • Papers, photographs and artefacts from St George’s Nurses’ League
  • Personal papers, memoirs and memorabilia from individual nurses, including papers of matron Dame Muriel Powell (c.1910s-­1970s)
  • Photographs, including student photographs, group photographs and personal photo albums
  • Artefacts and objects, including items of nurses' uniform, badges, medals, and medical instruments
  • ‘Nurses’ Voices’ oral history project: interviews with over 100 former St George’s nurses and midwives (and related documentation), recorded 2003-2008

From in-­job training at the hospital, nursing education was gradually formalised during the latter half of the 19th century. From 1882 onwards, probationer nurses were offered lectures by the medical school and hospital staff; these lectures developed into a more formal syllabus, becoming compulsory for probationers in the 1890s, and the first formal examinations were introduced in 1894. The archive charts the development of nursing education from the late 19th century to the 21st century, including important changes in the demographics of the nursing staff, such as the arrival of the Windrush generation.

The collection encompasses training of nurses at St George’s and related institutions: for instance, nursing training at Victoria Hospital for Children and Grove Hospital were merged with St George’s School of Nursing in the 1950s, leading to the establishment of a branch of the School of Nursing at Tooting, where St George’s Hospital and Medical School (later university) moved in the 1970s from Hyde Park Corner, central London.

Experimental course registers

Registers relating to the 'New Experiment in Nursing Education', aka the 'experimental course', which ran for a few years in the mid-1960s, and attempted to give the nursing curriculum a more systematic theoretical foundation based on the human life course (paediatrics, obstetrics, geriatrics, etc). It subsequently evolved into the '2+1' course (see NU/1/1/21).

The registers record student attendance at lectures, tutorials, visits, clinical conferences, study days, etc (including psychiatric nursing training at Atkinson Morley and West Park hospitals), as well as examination results. The date ranges and titles of the registers are as follows:

Nov 1965 – Sep 1967 ['New Experiment in Nursing Education']
Sep 1966 – Apr 1968 ['Record of Nursing Tutorials – Experimental Course']
Nov 1966 – Jul 1968 ['New Experiment in Nursing Education: Group II']
Nov 1967 – Oct 1969 ['Experimental Course']

2 + 1 course registers

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:

Sep 1969 – Oct 1971 [bulging with taped-in notes/documents – spine has cracked]
Mar 1970 – Feb 1972 [oversize; includes photograph]
Sep 1970 – Apr 1971 ['2 + 1 students: Sept 1970 set, Stage I']
Mar 1971 – Aug 1972 ['Mar 1971 Entry + Revision'; oversize; includes photograph]
Apr 1971 – Oct 1972 ['2 + 1 students: Sept 1970 set, Stage II']
Sep 1971 – Oct 1973

Mar 1977 – Oct 1979
Sep 1979 – Jul 1982
Nov 1979 – Jan 1981

The date ranges of the volumes are as follows:

Sep 1970 – Oct 1971

Royal Masonic Hospital paediatric student register

Register of study periods for student nurses from the Royal Masonic Hospital who were seconded to St George's for paediatric experience. Includes details of topics studied and records of attendance and assessment.

A file of correspondence and forms relating to a 'non-starter' student who applied to the St George's paediatric course in 1973 (but had no apparent connection to the Royal Masonic Hospital) has been inserted into the volume.

St George's General Students registers

Group of registers labelled 'St George's General Students' (and occasionally 'Mental Health Students') containing records of student training and leaving dates. Note that despite the St George's label, they also contain lists of students from or seconded to other affiliated hospitals, including St James', Bolingbroke, Springfield, South London, and Netherne; this reflects the increasing integration of training across hospital sites after the NHS reorganisation of 1974. Also, by the end of the period covered by these registers, St George's nurse training had been amalgamated first with Roehampton and then Kingston University.

The date ranges for the volumes are as follows:

1974-1978 [a handwritten note inside this register states 'Not St George's', and a pencil addition identifies it as 'St James'': indeed this volume mostly seems to relate to St James' nurses, but it has been retained here as it was retroactively absorbed into the 'St George's General' series]
1979-1981 [contains inserted item of correspondence from former student (1989) and later printout of list of students]
1982-1983 ['General Students and Pupils']
1984
1985
1986
1987
1988
1989
1990 ['St George's General & Mental Students'; includes item of correspondence from Springfield Hospital about reorganisation of acute admissions beds]
1992
1993 [contains copies of letter advertising 'Nursing Ethics' journal]
1994 [contains item of correspondence about ward closure at Queen Mary's Hospital, Roehampton]
1994-1995 ['Mental Health Students']
1995

Neonatal unit registers

Jan 1993 – Jun 1994

Nursing Staff Index

Alphabetical index of nursing staff at St George's, written in a variety of hands. Names are cross-referenced to a series of nine separate volumes which are no longer in this collection [having been transferred to London Metropolitan Archives].

Although no dates are included, the earliest names listed trained in the late 19th century (cf. the signature book, NU/1/1/1) and the latest c. the 1940s, suggesting that this index was compiled in the early to mid-20th century.

Examination registers

Set of three registers containing pasted-in exam papers for senior and junior nurses, followed by handwritten lists of results and examiners' reports

Lecture registers

Two registers (for 1930-1944 and 1945-1951) of nurses' attendance at lectures and revision classes, including details of topics and names of lecturers
