Come nursing with St John
In 1980, St John Ambulance launched 'The Year of Nursing', a scheme to promote, develop and expand its nursing training. As part of these activities, Lady Moyra Browne, the Superintendent-in-Chief of St John Ambulance and the Vice-President of the Royal Collage of Nursing embarked on an overseas tour to promote nursing, a new Nursing Manual was published and the Queen Mother presented three new annual £250 Nursing Bursaries during a reception at St James's Palace. This poster depicts many of the activities of St John Ambulance nurses, from home nursing to assisting with emergency care.
