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.

The St. John Ambulance Association has been providing first aid and medical training since the 19th century. Given the date of 1915, this certificate was likely issued during World War I, a period when first aid and nursing training were crucial due to wartime medical needs. Such certificates were important for individuals who served in hospitals, community health programs, or military medical support roles.This is a framed certificate from the St. John Ambulance Association, encased in a rectangular wooden frame with a simple, dark brown finish. The glass within the frame protects the certificate, which appears to be slightly wrinkled, possibly due to age and exposure to moisture. The document is printed on paper with a decorative border, official insignia, and handwritten inscriptions.The certificate is issued by the St. John Ambulance Association, Victoria Centre, and is dated 1915. It is awarded to an individual for completing a course in Nursing and Hygiene at a specific Sub-Centre and successfully passing an examination. The document features official signatures, seals, and the St. John Ambulance insignia (a Maltese cross), printed in black and red ink. The text includes phrases such as "This is to Certify", followed by the recipient's name and details of their achievement - Martha DUNCANst johns ambulance, first aid, medical items, martha duncan
