<body> <h1> Nurses Voices </h1> <h2> An oral history that gives Nurses a voice </h2> <p> <img src="images/homepagephoto.jpg" align="right" width="150" height="200" border= "0" alt="Nurse circa 1960">The interviews chronicle over 1,000 years of nursing experience. Where hospital histories traditionally concentrate on buildings and celebrated physicians and surgeons, the experience of the patient on the ward and of their treatment is dependent on the very intimate and often personal relationship with the nursing staff. The stories of those who support and administer new medical treatments and advances, but are so often un-remarked in official accounts of institutions have now been told, as they are remembered, with all the personal interpretation, thoughtfulness and humour that you would expect to find in such a collection. </p> <p> Over 100 interviews have been conducted with retired and working nurses who were trained or worked at <b>St George's Hospital</b> London UK from 1929 to the present. </p> <p> We invite you share in these personal memories which have contributed to the history of nursing, teaching hospitals and UK healthcare and explore what it was like to be a nurse in the second half of the twentieth century, and what this collection has to contribute to the practice of nursing today and in the twenty-first century. </p> <p> If you would like to contribute your memories to the collection or would like to create a similar collection of your hospital, speciality or workplace, please <a href="contacts.htm">contact us</a>. </p> <p> If you are viewing this text, your browser lacks the ability to read frames.
