To mark the Coronation of King Charles III and International Nurses’ Day, join the Faculty of Health and Social Care for a talk which will explore links between royalty and nursing over the centuries. Find out about princesses from around the world who worked as nurses and those who nursed royals, who queen’s nurses are and why so many hospitals have royal in their title.

The talk will be given by Claire Chatterton, Visiting Professor at the University of Chester and a member of the University’s Faculty of Health and Social Care (FHSC) Historical Society. She is also an Associate Head of School at the Open University. Claire is a Fellow of the Royal College of Nursing and the Royal Historical Society.
