Once Upon a Time: Exhibition Launch

Join us for the launch of our new exhibition on children and young people’s nursing. Enjoy free refreshments and a chance to look around the exhibition, alongside drop-in activities and talks on the the past and present of children’s care from 6pm-7.30pm

The exhibition explores the history of children and young people’s nursing – from the first children’s hospitals in the 1800s to the development of family-centred care. Explore emotive tokens from the historic Foundling Hospital, children’s artwork from Bethlem and objects and stories loaned by nurses past and present. Speakers include Sue Ward on exploring the history of children’s nursing.

• Hear from Sue Ward, former Group Deputy Chief Nurse and part of the group of volunteers who curated the RCN Library and Archives’ History of Children and Young People’s nursing exhibition, on exploring the history of children’s nursing through this exhibition Once Upon a Time.
