wow! what an icon 💙

I can hear your sigh from Greenwich - relief but also the need for more oxygen x

And given how many nurses were trained in each hospital the gold medal was a huge achievement!
Hardworking mother! 🏆
We have a big collection of nurses badges, but it’s not complete, so if you ever need to find a good home for a nurses medal 🥇 …….🤭

Gold and enamel, oval medal attached to a gold bar. The Oval has an outer rim of navy enamel, inscribed 'Broadgreen Hospital Liverpool'. The inner oval has a raised profile/relief of the impressive gates to the hospital, showing a bit of the distinctive building and somne shrubbery. Smart.

Today's #HistNursing #Badge is Broadgreen Hospital #Liverpool est. 1903

It had a nurse training school with a gold medal being given to the best in class! Those who passed had asilver version
