EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment of tender care and compassion on the children's ward of Deaconess Hospital in Edinburgh, circa 1920. The image shows a group of dedicated nurses attending to the needs of young patients, their faces expressing a deep sense of concern and nurturing. The children, some in beds and others sitting up, gaze back at the camera with a mix of curiosity and trust. The nurses, dressed in their crisp white uniforms and caps, are busy administering medicine, checking vital signs, and offering comforting words. The atmosphere is one of warmth and healing, with the soft light filtering in through the windows and creating a calming effect. This poignant scene offers a glimpse into the past of children's healthcare, a time when the nursing profession played a crucial role in providing medical treatment and emotional support to young patients. The National Health Service (NHS) in the UK, which was established in 1948, traces its roots back to institutions like Deaconess Hospital, where the focus was on delivering high-quality care to those in need, regardless of their ability to pay.
