‘A few hints suggested by Mr Keate for the consideration of Messrs Gunning & Walker’, 27 May 1793

Keate states that surgeons are expected to visit their patients at least twice a week as well as spend time afterwards ‘for conversation & explanation to the Pupils’; that the ‘old custom of committing on a certain day of the week to be revived’, with operations to be performed on a certain day; an anatomy lecturer should be found for the hospital; ‘he should be required to examine Morbid Bodies, & report the appearance on dissection’ in a book for the use of the physicians, surgeons and pupils; the pupils’ fees would not be of ‘sufficient indemnification’, but they should be paid £200, excluding pupils’ fees; the surgeons should give one lecture each week on patient cases in the summer, and in the winter on ‘the Dead Subject’; lectures on the principles and practice of surgery ‘would be useful’ but the surgeons ‘may not be prepared for such a course’; lectures on chemistry, practice of physic or materia medica and midwifery can be given by ‘persons attached to the interest of the Hospital & connected with the medical men belonging to it’

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']

Apr 1971 – Oct 1972 ['2 + 1 students: Sept 1970 set, Stage II']
Sep 1971 – Oct 1973
Sep 1974 – Aug 1982 [register of completion dates for candidates, but reverse of book also contains lists of applications relating to student residence (?), 1967-1972; cover is detached]

'A London Assistant Nurse Training School' series

Set of black and white photographs in a series entitled 'A London Assistant Nurse Training School', taken for the Ministry of Health in 1958 and issued by the Central Office of Information, with explanatory captions affixed to the reverse of each print. They include shots of pupil assistant nurses studying and interacting with patients.

The box these photographs are stored in is labelled 'Complete Set of Photographs: Grove Hospital 1958' (with a note stating that it was 'found during [a] clear out', 1997), indicating that they were taken at the Grove Hospital site, which was by 1958 the Tooting branch of St George's. The box also contains six photographs of an ambulance which, while also seemingly taken at Tooting, do not appear to belong to the 'Assistant Nurse' set.
