A Short History of UK Nursing Research (free talk and all welcome)

Start Date: 5 October 2022 4:00 pm

End Date: 5 October 2022 5:00 pm

Location: Wheeler Building, CRV016 (Music Room)

Martin Johnson RN PhD, Emeritus Professor in Nursing, University of Salford Martin began nursing at the Manchester Royal Infirmary and after a decade of clinical working undertook Master’s and PhD degrees at Manchester University, something of a seat of power in nursing research in those days. Having worked in both NHS and University sectors, he was also Editor of Nurse Education Today for a decade.

In this talk he will argue that the efforts many lecturers naturally devote to studying their students should instead be directed at improving patient care. He will illustrate the enormous lengths early nurse researchers went to for their science and Martin will examine the main drivers of UK Nursing research as he sees them, looking at key individuals, key methods and how subjects are evolving. 

Admission free, but booking encouraged for refreshment and seating purposes. Please contact fhsc.histsoc@chester.ac.uk or call 01244 512126 to confirm your place.

University of Chester Riverside Museum open

Start Date: 5 October 2022 1:00 pm

End Date: 5 October 2022 4:00 pm

Location: Wheeler Building (go to the main reception opposite the River Dee)

Based at the University’s Wheeler Building on Castle Drive, the Faculty of Health and Social Care Historical Society’s Riverside Museum contains a permanent collection of curiosities from the world of medicine, nursing, midwifery and social work, in addition to an original letter written by Florence Nightingale from Balaclava.

The First World War: Returning Home exhibition provides an insight into what a soldier invalided back from the Front would have found on his return to Cheshire. Using local examples wherever possible, the exhibition covers aspects such as medical advances, the psychological effects of war, volunteering and volunteer nurses, a doctor’s country practice, home life, working women and social welfare. This exhibition has been created by the Faculty of Health and Social Care Historical Society volunteers and refurbished with the generous help of the Heritage Lottery Fund and Big Heritage.

Visitors with an interest in health and social care or local and social history are always welcome to visit the Museum and find out more from the volunteers, many of whom have a healthcare background. Group bookings for six or more people can be made at other times by prior arrangement.

Email fhsc.histsoc@chester.ac.uk to book your place.
