Florence Nightingale was a groundbreaking pioneer in the field of evidence based healthcare, and completely revolutionised nursing as a respectable profession – and when you visit the museum you will learn all about her life and lasting legacy. You will also gain insights into her work within the field of statistics and get a chance to meet some of her unique pets.
