Barts Nurses Remember
An oral history of memories and experiences by nurses who trained at Barts from the late 1930s to the 1980s has been developed and is available as a DVD or video.
In 2008 the League Executive decided, in conjunction with the Kingston University Oral History Unit, to formally collect the memories of League members to ensure that a significant part of Barts nursing history is recorded before it is lost in the mists of time. Forty-five League members, who qualified at Barts between 1939 and the late 1980s, were interviewed, as well as a surgeon, Mr William Shand, and a physician, Professor James Malpas, in order to capture all aspects of nursing at Barts. All these interviews are in oral and written form and explore seventeen themes, including the war, Hill End, wards, nurses’ homes, uniform and education.
The eighty minute DVD consists of a series of quotes, linked by theme, with a continuous ‘slide show’ of appropriate photographs running in the background. The front cover is the Nurse on Night Duty by Simon Brett, which is evocative of nursing at Barts. A video version is available for those who do not have access to a DVD player.
The DVD costs £12.00 and the video £15.00 (sterling only), which includes package and posting to a UK address.
