EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the tender moment between a dedicated nurse and a feline companion amidst the serene surroundings of a hospital garden. The reverse of the print reveals the setting to be Climo Battle Hospital in Reading, Berkshire, which operated from 1933 to 1936. The nurse, dressed in her uniform, stands amongst the trees, cradling the cat gently in her arms. The tranquil atmosphere of the scene offers a respite from the rigors of nursing and medical care, highlighting the importance of wellbeing and comfort during challenging times. This poignant image serves as a reminder of the human connection and compassion that is integral to the nursing profession, even in the midst of providing medical treatment and care. The photograph, dated circa 1935, is a poignant snapshot of history that showcases the dedication and care provided by nurses during the interwar period in the United Kingdom. The National Health Service (NHS) would later be established in 1948, building upon the foundations of institutions like Climo Battle Hospital that prioritized the health and wellbeing of their patients.
