EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a line of proud and radiant nurses, gathered on the balcony of Maryfield Hospital Nurses' Home in Dundee, Scotland, as they prepare to embark on their careers in the nursing profession. Circa 1949, the scene is filled with a sense of anticipation and excitement, as these dedicated young women, all in their full uniforms, look out over the city they are about to serve. The National Health Service (NHS), which was established in the UK in 1948, had only been in operation for a few years at this time, and these graduating nurses were an essential part of its mission to provide comprehensive medical care and treatment to the population. Their training had equipped them with the knowledge and skills necessary to care for the sick and injured, and their unwavering commitment to the wellbeing of others was evident in their beaming faces. Maryfield Hospital, which opened in 1872, was one of the oldest hospitals in Dundee and had a long and distinguished history of providing healthcare services to the community. The Nurses' Home, located on the hospital grounds, provided a comfortable and supportive environment for student nurses to live and learn, and the balcony where these graduates are standing would have offered them a beautiful view of the city and the River Tay. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the important role that nurses have played in the history of healthcare, and the vital contribution they continue to make to the health and wellbeing of individuals and communities around the world.
