Struck off! The GNC Disciplinary Committee 1922 - 1936

Choose event information:
When the General Nursing Council was formed after the Nurses Registration Act of 1919, one of their roles was to determine when and why a nurse might be removed from the register.
This turned out not to be an easy matter, and the discussions of the committee reveal how essential certain personal and moral traits were thought to be to nursing practice in this era. From divorce courts to gambling shops, Sarah Chaney explores the aim of a small group of matrons to “purify the profession”.
This event is hosted by the the University of Chester's Faculty of Health and Social Care (FHSC) Historical Society, which aims to unite individuals with an interest in medicine, nursing, midwifery and social work across the University and the wider community. The Society meets regularly for a range of talks and discussion and anyone with an interest in health and social care or social history is welcome to attend.
