St George's Nursing Collection

  • 406 NU
  • Collection
  • 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.

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:
