This is an interactive seminar designed to stimulate thought and discussion about nursing in prisons and criminal justice settings within the UK throughout history.

By asking questions such as ‘How have things changed?’ ‘What has stayed the same?’ ‘What is the patients experience?’ ‘What could we do better?’ we will look to illuminate the stories in this area of nursing that occurs behind closed doors and challenge the biases that people hold.

Artifacts and resources from the current exhibition on display at RCN Scotland, and previously on display in RCN HQ, will showcase the research gathered by members of the Nursing in Justice and Forensics Forum and the History of Nursing Forum.
