Nursing in Liverpool Since 1862 by

The year 2012 marks the 150th anniversary of the foundation of the first provincial training school for nurses. Nursing in Liverpool since 1862 looks at the development of professional nursing, it highlights some of the 'firsts' to have originated in Liverpool in the field of nursing practice. The study contains oral history accounts from the nurses who have trained and worked in Liverpool both in the hospitals and the community. They follow in the footsteps of Florence Nightingale who in collaboration with William Rathbone VI pioneered modern nursing practice. It is a story of dedication, innovation and, above all, caring.
