EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a poignant moment in the history of healthcare. Taken in the 1960s at Walsgrave Hospital in Coventry, it showcases two dedicated nurses attentively tending to fragile babies nestled inside incubators. A third nurse stands nearby, meticulously inspecting a trolley filled with milk bottles in the After Care Unit. The image provides a glimpse into the compassionate work carried out by these women within the maternity ward of this renowned hospital. Their expertise and care are evident as they diligently monitor and nurture these vulnerable infants. Catalogued as part of the Breaking New Ground Project, an initiative undertaken by Historic England Archive in collaboration with the John Laing Charitable Trust, this photo serves as a testament to both medical advancements and human compassion during that era. It is impossible not to be moved by this snapshot frozen in time – a reminder of how far we have come in our understanding and treatment of newborns. This image encapsulates not only the vital role played by hospitals like Walsgrave but also pays tribute to those unsung heroes who dedicate their lives to caring for others within our National Health Service.
