About Shining a Light: A History of Nursing Support Workers: Exhibition
Nursing support workers are the heart of health and social care, delivering hands-on care.
From Victorian asylums and wartime volunteers to nursing assistants and
care workers today, this Royal College of Nursing exhibition uncovers the long history and diversity of nursing support work.
Exhibits include a handmade magazine created by a young Agatha Christie when she was a volunteer providing nursing support in the First World War. The exhibition also shines a light on the personal stories of nursing support workers today, celebrating the contribution they continue to make – in hospitals, care homes, clinics and communities.
The venue is wheelchair accessible. If you have any questions or accessibility needs, please contact us on scotland.library@rcn.org.uk or 0131 662 6163/4.
