Last week spent 14 hours in A & E. Fantastic staff at every stage & grade, working under impossible circumstances. Our health service needs to be not for profit, and properly funded - this needs to be in the foreground of any plan

Some problems are age old? Paying a fair wage to retain good staff always pays off!! Thanks for another excellent blog from Anne Pegram

Good question - I have no info on this - she does not mention a union in her memoir, and I have yet to find any records

Very good to be back at the Labour History Archive at the People's History Museum, reading through pictures and Molly's letters home when she was nursing in the Spanish Civil War. Thanks to archivist Darren for looking after us. #MollyMurphy #HistNursing

What an interesting publication. Thanks for sharing this - we are so far away from some of these ideas that its easy to forget what education can and should be

This is such a powerful and thought provoking exhibition - something for all of us to think about and, in whatever way we can, act

Janet Hargreaves @janeth56.bsky.social · 03/04/2026

Well done @rcnlibraries for an excellent exhibition. Historic context, memories and collaboration with current prisoners and nurses offer a window into this hidden, but essential nursing speciality. Currently at the Edinburgh library, and open to the Fringe! #hustnursing #edfringe

Four weeks into the latest escalation in #Lebanon, the humanitarian situation is rapidly deteriorating. Health facilities are closing, hospitals are evacuating and medical staff are working under immense pressure as access to care becomes increasingly difficult and communities are disrupted.

Very interesting - this was a huge public health problem, across the globe, that has been under researched. Always made worse by war, it is yet another aspect of the collateral damage caused far beyond the battlefield

A moving event today by the International Brigade Memorial Trust remembering the Spanish Civil War battle of Jarama, February 12-14 1937. Molly Murphy nursed survivors in a makeshift hospital close behind the front line. Also got a new book from Chris Hall #MollyMurphy #SCW #IBMT

My FOI request from the Metropolitan Police came good! Spent the weekend working through files re the 1925 raid on the Communist Party of Great Britain - when Molly's husband Jack was tried and imprisoned. Just tiny fragments on Molly, but fascinating all the same #mollymurphy #histnursing

Thanks re unions - She has 7 addresses listed in London from 1925 to 1943. They give 20 July 1923 as her GNC registration date, but I cannot find the actual record of this.

Janet Hargreaves @janeth56.bsky.social · 09/02/2026

Not known by me - she does not mention in her memoir union membership when she trained at the West London Hospital 1915 - 1919, or later in her career. Would there be records??
