Please note that the Chapel service to celebrate the Nurses' League Plaque is on Weds 25th April at 3pm and not on the 27th as previously stated
The October 1962 set are holding a 50th anniversary reunion at Guys on October 10th 2012. There are still some people I have not managed to contact so if you were a member of our set please contact me on bar344@yahoo.co.uk. We would love you to join our celebrations.
Good afternoon Guys Nurses League
I wanted to let you know of the death of my mother Sarah Henderson, who trained and worked at Guys before and after WW2.
She would have been known as Nancy Irvine then, although she was christened Sarah Agnes Irvine , Nancy was a nickname by which she was always known.
She became Sarah Henderson much later in the 1950s when she married.
I don't know if its possible to record this somewhere are there may be contemporaries who remember my mum. She died on 13th September 2011 in a nursing home in Scarborough. Until only a few years before her death she received the 'Guy's gazette' (I did try to make contact via their web site but it seems to be closed...I wonder if you know how to contact them please?).
Often especially in her latter years spoke very warmly and fondly of her years at Guys. I'm sorry I dont know any other names of contemporaries, but attach a biography used by those who spoke at her funeral, with a few extracts about her nursing career highlghted. I understand you will want to edit this heavily if indeed you use it at all, but I'd be grateful to know if any mention of my mum is published and see a copy?
I myself have worked in the NHS for many years but as a librarian not a nurse!
I send best wishes to Guys Hospital Nurses League and especially any members of the League who may remember my mother
With Kindest Regards
Anne Henderson
Wessex Group Can you let me know when the next meeting is? Thank you Posted by Jane Price nee Thomson on 05 January 2012  Shelagh Titchener's address I would like to contact shelagh fairly urgently and wondered if any one knew a contact address/e-mail? Jane Palmer (nee Cockbill) Guys September 1967 Posted by Jane Palmer on 09 December 2011 Hospital badge I wonder if anyone can help me. I am looking to replace a Guy's School of Nursing badge for a dear friend who lost hers some years ago. It would mean a great deal to her and would be wonderful if anyone could help. I've tried on eBay and just missed one! Jillian Robinson (nee Hodge) September '73 set Posted by Jill Robinson on 22 November 2011 did you find a Guy's badge? I have one which belonged to my mother Guy's '35 -39. I would be happy to pass it on as I have one of my own. Posted by Jane Hodgkison on 25 December 2011 Dear Jane,sorry not to reply sooner have only just turned computer on after Xmas. I managed to locate a Nurses League badge which differs from the hospital badge - G.H.N.L across the top rather than Guy's Hospital & would love to take up your offer. I would be happy to send you a cheque,I've put my email here so that we can make arrangements. Many thanks Jill Posted by Jill Robinson on 30 December 2011 Jill, I tried your KIng's e-mail address but it bounced. I have received a letter from Joanna McGregor regarding the badge business and would like to reply. Unfortunately she hasn't put her full address in her letter. Do you think she would mind if you sent it to me? Posted by Jane Hodgkison on 07 February 2012 christopher ward Hi guys, I would be very interested if you have any information on the origins of the christopher ward? does the plaque paying tribute to the endowment of the ward by the Bank of England staff (st christopher fund during the years 1923-44)still exist? many thanks. Posted by sue davison on 08 November 2011 Hi Sue Someone has recently published a book on the ward names at Guy's & St Thomas'. The entry for Christopher ward reads: 'The ward was named after St Christopher at the request of the staff of the Bank Of England. Between 1919 - 1944 they raised over £30,000 to endow, initially, a bed and then the ward as a tribute to their World War 1 colleagues'. I do not know what happened to the plaque - Christopher Ward closed in the mid 1990s when acute services moved to St Thomas'. GSST charity is responsible for archive artefacts so Gabrielle Allen from the Charity may be able to help you with its current location. have you looked at the Christopher kneelers in the surgical section on the left hand side of this page? cheers Andie Posted by Andie Howard [92.13.234.219] on 11 November 2011 / Posted by Andie Howard on 11 November 2011 View All Posts, Ever!

July 1960 set, living in the US in Florida. I was never a league member and found the site when looking for a picture of our student nurse uniform. Would love to hear from any members of my set.
