We’ve been encouraging students across the University to suggest e-books for the library to add to our e-book collection. Thanks to all who have made suggestions so far.

A (very) brief history of nursing and midwifery in the NHS
2020 is the World Health Organisation (WHO)’s Year of the Nurse and Midwife and as part of our celebrations, CCCU Libraries are writing a series of blogs.

Wonderful Adventures of Mary Seacole
Our last blog for the World Health Organisation (WHO)’s Year of the Nurse and Midwife focused on Florence Nightingale and her innovative use of statistics and visual data representations in her work as a nurse and public health campaigner. Today we are using CCCU’s online library resources to take a look at a figure whose story runs alongside Nightingale’s but who has often been overlooked in historical narratives of the Crimean War and Victorian nursing: Mary Seacole.
