The Nightingale Fellowship is a registered charity for the sole benefit of its members. The membership comprises nurses and midwives who studied at the Nightingale Training School at St Thomas’ Hospital, in London, founded by Florence Nightingale in 1860. Other members comprise graduates from the successor training schools. Members in need can apply for support from the substantial Benevolent Fund. Members also enjoy fellowship with former colleagues at organised events in London, across the UK and worldwide.

NEWS & EVENTS
Angela Adams
As some of you may know, we lost our dear friend and colleague, Angela Adams, in November 2024.
Angela worked on producing the Nightingale Journals and also had a valuable input towards the final History Book, being prepared for 2025.
The Trustees will be making a donation to Dorothy House Hospice (www.dorothyhouse.org.uk) in Angela’s memory.
She was an amazing, funny, kind and generous woman, and we all feel proud to have known her and she is very much missed.
