The Hospital for Sick
Children School of
Nursing (Great Ormond Street) London |
In 1974 the North West Metropolitan Region's The Hospital for Sick Children School of Nursing was based at London WC1. This school had training places for 200 Combined SRN/RSCN student nurses plus 80 SEN (General) pupil nurses per year. There was no record of a hospital cadet/cadet nurse scheme to help feed recruitment. |
All were part of the then still mushrooming growth of the NHS following its inception in1948. An NHS which was to cater for all. Cradle to the grave. An NHS attempting to cover almost all known medical conditions. Not surprising then that since that beginning there had developed a plethora of nursing specialties, some sub-divided into highly specialized categories, all designed to meet particular needs. The nurses to meet those needs - General, Sick Children's, Mental, and Mental Subnormality Nurses, were all, by 1974, being trained under the auspices of the General Nursing Councils. One for England and Wales; one for Scotland; and one for Northern Ireland.
