A new project funded by Historic England is helping to highlight the experiences of our NHS nurses through the decades, as it marks 75 years.
‘Answering the Call’ is a project bringing the local community together to reflect on the experiences of nurses working at Glenside Hospital in Bristol, who came from the Commonwealth to work for the NHS after the Second World War.
Glenside Hospital in Bristol, built in 1861, provided a therapeutic community where the patients were engaged in meaningful occupation, including sewing, as part of their treatment. The hospital has had a nurse training school on-site since 1880 which is still running today.
