EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment of respite for two black student nurses during their training at the Women's Hospital in Nottingham during the 1960s. Dressed in their full uniforms, complete with capes, they sit comfortably on a rug in front of a plant, creating a sense of tranquility amidst the bustling hospital environment. The presence of a chair nearby suggests that this is a regular spot for them to take a break. The image offers a glimpse into the experiences of black nurses during a time when racial discrimination was prevalent in healthcare institutions. Despite the challenges they faced, these dedicated women persevered, making significant strides towards increasing diversity and representation in the nursing profession. The photograph also showcases the personal touch that can be found even in the most clinical of settings, as these future healthcare professionals connect with nature and find moments of relaxation amidst their studies.
