#NursingSchool

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
