EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in time from the female ward of the Royal Berkshire Hospital in Reading, circa 1915. Nurses in traditional uniforms are seen standing throughout the ward, attending to the needs of several patients who lie in beds along the right hand wall. The calm and caring atmosphere is palpable, as the nurses provide essential medical care and treatment to their patients. At the centre of the image, a young girl stands next to a table adorned with vibrant plants, adding a touch of nature and tranquility to the ward. Her presence serves as a reminder of the importance of comfort and companionship during the healing process. In the foreground, a young female patient sits in a wheelchair, her expression thoughtful as she holds a teddy bear close. The bear, a symbol of comfort and security, offers solace and companionship during her recovery. The photograph provides a poignant glimpse into the past, showcasing the dedication and compassion of the nursing staff during a time when healthcare was rapidly evolving. The nurses' unwavering commitment to their patients' wellbeing is evident, as they work tirelessly to ensure their comfort and promote their recovery in this female ward of the National Health Service's early history.
