I am a social reformer and statistician who turned nursing into a trained profession. I organise care, measure what kills patients, and turn that knowledge into training, hospital design and public health law.
The person outside the work — what they're learning and tinkering with.
In the 1870s I mentored Linda Richards and gave her the training and knowledge to found high-quality nursing schools in the United States and Japan, as the Nightingale plan spread abroad.
I built a repeatable method for training nurses: a funded school in a working hospital, a written curriculum, graduates placed in hard settings, and matrons given full control of their staff.
