Nursing records

[Kevin Garrad]

My father's half-sister, Ethel Irene Primrose Garrad (1907 - 1970) was a nurse specialising in Mental Health.
She ended up as Matron in a Mental Hospital in Sussex.

I have found that she qualified in Bristol in the late 1920's, and also did some training at Selly Oak Hospital, Birmingham.
But then the trails runs cold.

How can I find out her career history?

Cheers,

Kevin

I don't know if the Sussex Hospital still exists. You could try them.
The National Archives may have some information

There's advice and some interesting background in this Research Guide

There are some records kept at the National Archives, Check with them. I know that because my bored husband looked at them once when I had gone for something else.
