Florence Nightingale experience

Welcome to the world of Florence Nightingale, the founder of modern nursing and heroine of the Crimean war.
Florence will visit your primary school along with her good friend 'Sidney Herbert' and bring the past to life. The experience begins with a fabulous interactive presentation where the children learn about Florence's childhood, inspiration and calling which led her into a career of nursing. Discover how Florence encouraged health and hygiene in hospitals, introduced uniforms for nurses and single handedly reformed the health care system.
The presentation is followed by interactive workshops featuring 'Scutari' hospital & our interactive victorian artefact workshop.
Children get to handle and use typical equipment use in Victorian hospitals and learn about many of the changes brought in by Florence to improve the chances of recovery for patients and soldiers.
This is a truly unique experience and gives the children an interactive look into the life of one of Britain's most important historical figures.
