About Florence Nightingale Faculty of Nursing, Midwifery & Palliative Care

Our Faculty is directly descended from the Nightingale Training School for Nurses which was established at St Thomas’ Hospital in 1860 as part of Florence’s Nightingale's campaign to transform nursing and health care. The Nightingale Training School was the first non-religious institution to provide professional nurse training.

In 1940, Dame Cicely Saunders started her career at the Nightingale Training School, before founding the worlds-first modern hospice and pioneering palliative medicine. Our Cicely Saunders Institute was also the first purpose-built institute for palliative care. It was established by King's College London and Cicely Saunders International in 2010.



From the moment you arrive, you’re part of our close-knit community of nurses and midwives. You’ll join societies, meet our alumni and work on placement to create connections that last a life-time. Our graduates work across clinical nursing, midwifery, palliative, rehabilitation and interdisciplinary care. They are also researchers, clinical academics, health and care managers and scholars.
