History of Nursing articles
The History of Nursing Forum works closely with staff to publish articles in the RCN Magazine. You can browse and access these articles.
There are articles on a range of topics including the history of learning disability nursing, men in nursing, racism in nursing, Irish nurses in Britain, infection control and witches. We regularly put forward ‘behind the scenes’ articles on our Forum activities, such as our exhibitions and events.
We want to showcase more history of nursing activities from across the UK, whether you’re working on local nursing history, a particular nursing event or your family history.
The articles are written with our Communications Team, in an ‘in conversation’ style. We’re interested in sharing work in progress as well as completed projects.
If you have a history of nursing topic you are passionate about and want to share with other RCN members, please email us at honf@rcn.org.uk popping ‘RCN Magazine Article Suggestion’ in the header.
