This is an information pamphlet about the Florence Nightingale Museum, London Florence Nightingale helped to set up the Nightingale Training School at St Thomas’s Hospital in 1860. Following the first intake of 15 ‘probationer’ trainee nurses, the school improved and expanded over the following decades, spreading Nightingale’s ideas of nurse training across the world. The school was overseen by the Matrons of St Thomas’s Hospital. During her time as Matron of St Thomas’s, Dame Alicia Lloyd Still started to collect objects that had belonged to Nightingale or that Nightingale had gifted to some of the nurses who had trained at the Nightingale Training School. The objects that Lloyd Still collected were held at the Nightingale Training School and came to be known as the ‘Nightingalia’. The objects were used by the probationer nurses as a teaching tool and occasionally they would be used for exhibitions, or to mark key anniversaries and events. The collection transferred to the newly created Florence Nightingale Museum Trust in 1983, who then opened the museum on the site of the Training School in 1989. Since then the museum has continued to grow and has welcomed thousands of visitors from around the world, sharing Nightingales legacy, celebrating Nursing and inspiring the next generation of nursesProvides information about a significant nursing museumPamphlet folded in thirds, front of papmlet has a black and white photograph of Florence Nightingale, photographs of items from the collection, as well as a map and transport informationPrevious catalogue number handwitten [black ink] on small white sticker on frontflorence nightingale, florence nightingale museum

The Bedpan Toilet device is a special tool designed for people who are unable to get out of bed to use the bathroom. It helps them go to the toilet comfortably and conveniently without having to leave their bed. The device is placed under the person's bottom, and it has a container that collects urine or stool. It is easy to clean and can be emptied into a toilet or sink. The Bedpan Toilet device allows individuals who are confined to bed due to illness or injury to maintain their dignity and independence by providing them with a practical solution for using the bathroom while staying in bed. The word bedpan was first seen in the literature of John Higgins in 1572, and one of the oldest known bedpans is on display in the Science Museum of London. It is a green, glazed earthenware bedpan that has been dated to the 16th or 17th century. At that time, bedpans were made from materials including pewter, brass, pottery, glass, and porcelain. Bedpans were not a commonplace item in hospitals until the late 1800s. Florence Nightingale, who worked as a nurse in the United Kingdom from the mid to late 1800s, recorded death rates and causes for soldiers in military hospitals during the Crimean War and then correlated them to corresponding sanitisation procedures. As a result, Nightingale proposed several methods to improve the sanitary conditions in both military and civilian hospitals, including the addition of bedpans in order to reduce infection exposure from urine or faeces. https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Bedpan The use of bedpans is significant, as it allows a patient who cannot move much, to remain in bed and perform toilet functions.Bed pan ceramic white glaze with handle.
