In full, the Florence Nightingale Faculty of Nursing, Midwifery & Palliative Care. The world's first nursing school to be continuously connected to a fully serving hospital (St Thomas's) and medical school. It was inspired by Florence Nightingale and her nurses' work during the Crimean War. The 1943 film 'The lamp still burns' follows an architect who dedicates herself to train at this school as a nurse.
