The history of nursing is an extraordinary and moving one. Often in the face of adversity, like-minded people developed, protected and handed down the philosophy of nurturing, supporting and empowering their fellow human beings. It is the story of selfless individuals who devoted their working lives to the wellbeing of others.
Through a combination of art, photographs, recollections and history, Celebrating Nursing is an inspiring tribute to the breadth and depth of nursing from earliest times to the present day. Beautifully illustrated and extensively researched, it portrays the lives and works of famous nurses as well as shining a light on the hidden stories of less well-known but no less remarkable individuals.
