EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white photograph, a kind-faced nurse gently takes the temperature of a patient at the Metropolitan Police Medical Centre in Hendon, north west London, during the 1970s. The scene transports us back in time to an era when healthcare was delivered with a personal touch. The nurse, dressed in her crisp white uniform, wears a warm expression as she attends to her patient, who sits up in bed wearing pyjamas, smiling back at her. The historical setting of the Medical Centre, with its worn linoleum flooring and beige walls, adds to the sense of nostalgia. The Metropolitan Police Medical Centre in Hendon was established in 1927 to provide medical care for police officers and their families.

This photograph is a poignant reminder of the importance of healthcare and the dedication of nurses in providing compassionate care to their patients.
