Looking Back: From uniforms to scrubs!

In 1982, while portering in the casualty department at Peterborough District Hospital I snapped this image of registrar Dr Alan Leaman and third year student nurses.

He went on to be a consultant in Telford and is now retired. I am hoping someone recognises the nurses.

I took the second image of doctor and midwives in 2015 at PCH maternity unit.

You will notice the big changes in uniforms for practical and infection control reasons.

See more NHS images in my NHS book Just be Kind, available from my website.
