Bring your camera and
take a photograph of yourself or a friend behind our picture boards of nursing
uniforms from the past.
The professional identity of nurses has long been defined by beds, uniforms, sutures, bandages and the nursing practices
associated with them.
Hospital
beds and how they are made have always been a talking point for patients in
hospitals. Tight sheets underneath the
patient and equally as tight sheets over the patient – not necessarily made for
comfort! Come and see a display of
various types of hospital beds and learn about the many different styles, their
purposes and how to make them. A number
of miniature hospital beds will be on display showing the different types of beds
and bedmaking. A display of bandaging
used by nurses will also be on show and you can have a try at doing some of
these bandages yourself. A fascinating array of sutures and needles used within
hospitals will also be on display.
