Welcome to the web site of the Nightingale Fellowship. The Nightingale Fellowship is the alumni association of nurses who trained in the Nightingale Training School of St Thomas’ Hospital, or one of its successor training schools. This site tells you about the history and work of the Nightingale Fellowship and the activities and privileges that its members enjoy. There is also a section about the Nightingale badge which is worn by many members of the Fellowship. Please use the tabs at the top of the page to take you to the relevant areas of the site.

The Nightingale Fellowship is an active and lively association which supports the interests of its two and a half thousand ‘Nightingale’ nurse members worldwide. Each year in May, close to the anniversary of Florence Nightingale’s birth, the AGM is held. Members use this meeting as an opportunity to meet with old friends over tea and at the many ‘set’ reunions held on the day. The AGM is also an opportunity to keep abreast of what is currently happening in the world of nursing and St Thomas’ Hospital through the excellent presentations given by invited speakers. Details of next year’s AGM can be found under the ‘Members' Page’ tab. The Nightingale Fellowship Journal is published twice a year and reports on social events and the work of Nightingale nurses all over the world as well as current professional nursing-related issues.

The Fellowship is proud to bear the name of Florence Nightingale who founded the Nightingale Training School at St Thomas’ in 1860. Please note that all enquiries about Florence Nightingale and her work should be directed to the Florence Nightingale Museum (Tel: 020 7620 0374, or www.florence-nightingale.co.uk) and not to the Nightingale Fellowship.
