Author: Adam SingletonManchester has been put firmly into the limelight by the likes of George Best, Ryan Giggs and the Gallagher brothers but before these recent acts the city has been an eventful place. The roots of the city in north-west England can be traced back to 79AD when a Roman general named Agricola built a fort slightly to the north of modern Manchester. The fort started off in wooden form before being rebuilt in stone in 200AD. When the Roman forces left Britain more than two centuries later the fort was left to ruin. By the 11th century – when England was invaded by the Normans - a village had been established in the area; soon things really started moving for Manchester and the country in general, as a rise in population led to increased trade and commerce. Things looked on the up for the city and, aided greatly by the wool industry, Manchester flourished and became more famous. Things took a turn for the worse in the early 1600s when the plague hit and it is estimated that around a quarter of the population was lost during this epidemic.

Author: Erik JohnsonServing in the military is a noble profession! Serving as a military nurse is even nobler! The nurses have a purer mission in war than others. They serve like ‘angels’ to soothe and comfort the injured. Nursing is a profession that demands courage, compassion and above all, composure. The history of military nursing can be traced to the time of Florence Nightingale, an English nurse. Her major contribution was during the Crimean War (1853-56), where she worked to improve the conditions of the injured soldiers. She had trained the women volunteer nurses and worked in Turkey where the main British camp was based. Nightingale believed that the death rates were due to poor nutrition and supplies, overworking of the soldiers and poor living conditions. This influenced her and she advocated the importance of sanitary living conditions. Consequently, she reduced deaths in the army during peacetime and turned attention to the sanitary design of hospitals. International Nurses Day (12th May) is celebrated on her birthday each year. Nightingale laid the foundation stone of professional nursing with the principles summarized in the book ‘Notes on Nursing’. Members...more
