Nightingale House is named after Florence Nightingale, a pioneering nurse and reformer whose work transformed nursing and healthcare. 
Florence Nightingale became internationally known for her work during the Crimean War, where she and her team cared for wounded soldiers in extremely difficult conditions. She recognised that poor hygiene and inadequate healthcare were contributing to unnecessary deaths and used her knowledge and determination to bring about significant improvements. 

Her work helped transform nursing into a respected profession and demonstrated how compassion, knowledge and leadership could be used to create meaningful change.
