In preparation for the 2020 Bicentenary Florence Nightingale — the famous ‘lady with the lamp’ — is most-known for nursing wounded and dying soldiers during the Crimean War — and for founding modern secular nursing. But Nightingale's life and work also encompassed a much wider field of creative initiative and influence — still highly relevant for today.
Beyond and including nursing — Nightingale was also inter-disciplinary. She understood that health is determined by many factors and called this 'Health Nursing' These 'health determinants' included issues she worked to improve — like clean water, sanitation, nutrition, education, decent employment, housing and healthy environments, human rights, including the rights of women and children — the same issues now encompassed by the 17 United Nations Global Goals for Sustainable Development. |
And, in keeping with all our 2020 purposes and plans, you are invited to participate in.... |
