The #OldOperatingTheatre #Museum & #HerbGarret sits on the original site of #StThomasHospital, before relocating in 1862. Europe’s oldest surgical theatre for female patients, the timber attic once used to prep & store medicinal herbs was converted into an operating theatre in 1822 - pre. anaesthetics / antiseptics. #FlorenceNightingale started her #NursingSchool here #KCLMedic

Did you know #FlorenceNightingale invented modern infographics? Her famous 1850s #CoxcombCharts proved that more soldiers died from disease than battle, changing medicine forever. At #StThomasHospital, she taught nurses to visualize data - a practice still used today. Every pandemic chart or hospital stat shows the world through Nightingale's eyes, 170 years later #KCLWoman

Today at #KingsCollegeLondon, her statue in the hospital’s hall observes student nurses as they study her #CoxcombCharts that prove sanitation saves lives.
