Looking Back: Changes in nurses' uniforms over the years
In 2010 I photographed three senior paediatric nurses at Peterborough District Hospital before the big move to PCH, writes street photographer Chris Porsz.
I was struck by how very different their uniforms were (reflecting some of the massive changes, such as the technical and medical advances in our NHS) compared to my 1985 image showing nurses on the G1 (renamed Amazon) children's ward.
The second year students had blue stripes on their hats then and the white hats denote qualified staff nurses.
