Florence Nightingale at 200

To mark the 200th birthday of pioneering nurse Florence Nightingale, join us for this live online discussion examining her life and legacy.

Emma Mawdsley, Head of Collections Development and Review at the National Army Museum, will shed light on our fantastic collection of objects relating to Florence and her nursing career. 

Emma will then be joined by David Green, Director of the Florence Nightingale Museum, and (unless on deployment) Colonel Ashleigh Boreham, Commanding Officer of 256 City of London Field Hospital, who has been leading the military effort to build and operate NHS Nightingale Hospital London at the ExCeL centre.

Together, they will discuss the significance of Florence's work, both in terms of hospital hygiene and the role of data analysis in healthcare provision. They will also reveal some of the lesser-known aspects of her civilian life.
