The exhibition is excellent Teresa. Chapter 14 of the most recent edition of Disaster Nursing and Emergency Preparedness was co-written by yours truly! I’d never actually seen the book so it was a joy to pick it up and read it!

Such fantastic photos from @bharchives.bsky.social. It looks like the nurses may have turned their capes inside out. To see how bright and festive this could be - check out our object of the month: bsky.app/profile/rcnl...

What are your #FestiveTraditions? Do you sing carols like the nurses in this picture from Whipps Cross? Do you bring in the Yule Log every year, like these nursing students?

Well done @rcnlibraries for an excellent exhibition. Historic context, memories and collaboration with current prisoners and nurses offer a window into this hidden, but essential nursing speciality. Currently at the Edinburgh library, and open to the Fringe! #hustnursing #edfringe
