There is no theme for this colloquium.
Scholars of the history of nursing are invited to submit abstracts on any theme related to nursing history, from any era. Papers submitted for the Colloquium will also be considered for publication in the 2022 issue of UKAHN’s annual online journal, The UKAHN Bulletin.
 
Please submit abstracts of 250 words to [email protected] by Monday 11 April 2022. All abstracts will be peer reviewed by members of the Committee.
 
The Portico Library boasts a 215-year history, having been established in 1806 by 400 founding subscribers. As its website states, early readers included future prime ministers, leading scientists and educators and world-famous authors, including Mrs Gaskell. A truly stunning setting for a colloquium.
