We have stared an exciting new topic all about two remarkable historical figures: Florence Nightingale and Mary Seacole. The children have and will continue to explore who they were, what they achieved, and why they are remembered today as pioneering nurses who changed the world. In the history of healthcare, few names shine as brightly as Mary Seacole and Florence Nightingale. These two remarkable women transformed nursing during the 19th century and laid the foundations for many practices still used today. Although their journeys were very different, both made lasting contributions to patient care, public health, and the professionalisation of nursing. Mary Seacole is remembered today for her bravery, innovation, and compassion. Her work challenges us to rethink how stories are told, and to celebrate the contributions of nurses from all backgrounds. Florence Nightingale helped shape nursing into a respected, formal profession grounded in scientific practice and compassionate care. Her emphasis on training and hygiene remains central to modern healthcare.
