'I am Florence'

Florence 200

In celebration of the birth of Florence Nightingale and International Year of the Nurse and Midwife, ArtCare asked nurses and midwives, including students and retired staff to take their place in our local healthcare history.

The project called ‘I am Florence’, gathered stories from the participants about who inspired them, what they achieved and what they have learned in their career so far. These wide and varied stories show how these invaluable roles have changed over time. The stories collected so far have been compiled into the videos below.
