The Register of Nurses was first published in 1922, and was then produced annually until the late 1940s. These volumes list the nurse by name (including maiden name where appropriate), registration date and number, permanent address at that time, and where they qualified with dates. Later volumes were produced in the 1950s, which list only new nurses for each year and do not give the address.
+
*[http://www.museums.norfolk.gov.uk/default.asp?Document=400.740.50x1 Norwich Boot & Shoe Industry]
  
Originally there was the main General part of the Register with supplementary 'Mental', 'Male', 'Fever' and 'Sick Children's' parts of the Register. These supplementary parts have changed over the years. When searching check all parts of the Register and the late entries list, which sometimes appears at the end of the General part.

*[http://www.northants1841.fsnet.co.uk/shoe.html Shoe Making Terms Explained]
  
Nurses would pay an annual fee to be on the Register. After the 1943 Nurses Act it became compulsory to be a State Registered Nurse (SRN) and it is still a legal requirement to practice nursing in the UK. In Scotland, the term originally used was Registered General Nurse (RGN).

Publication of the Register ended in 1968.

===='''Roll of Nurses'''====
+
==Surgical - Doctors and Dentists==
  
Another type of nurse appeared after 1943: the Assistant Nurse, later known as the State Enrolled Nurse (SEN). This is not the same level of qualification as a SRN or RGN, but the Assistant or Enrolled nurse was recorded in the same way in the Roll of Assistant Nurses, also known as the Roll of Nurses. The GNC kept the Roll, set the syllabus for the examinations and approved the schools of nursing within hospitals.

===='''Irish Registers'''====
+
*[http://user.itl.net/~glen/doctors.html Was your ancestor a Doctor?]
  
The General Nursing Council for Ireland published Registers from 1921. This was replaced in Northern Ireland by the Joint Nursing and Midwifery Council (JNMC) from 1922, which continued to publish Registers and later the Roll of Nurses.

'''Burdett's Directories'''
+
*[http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/Coastguards/ British Coastguards 1841-1901]
 
 
Sir Henry Burdett, Victorian philanthropist, published Burdett's Official Nursing Directory 1894-9. These were annual volumes listing the law pertaining to nurses, the particulars of training schools in the UK and abroad, nursing institutions etc and a list of nurses giving their names, addresses and a very brief résumé. Nurses could pay to have their names added, which many of the London based nurses did. The RCN Archives has a copy of the 1898 and 1899 editions for reference.
 
 
 
Sir Henry also published Burdett's Hospital Annual 1890-1893 which became Burdett's Hospital & Charities Annual 1894-1930. It lists the hospitals, institutions, charities and organisations, which existed in the UK. It gives membership of hospital boards, names of senior nursing and medical staff, details of training available, size of hospital and of the nursing staff etc. The RCN Archives has copies from 1922-3 and 1928.
 
 
 
Many hospital records relating to nursing have unfortunately not survived to the present day, but those that do can often provide training and employment records containing genealogy information. The online Wellcome Trust / National Archives Hospital Records Database can provide information on UK hospitals and the location of their records. If the records are not at the local record office, they may still be with the hospital.
 
 
 
In England and Wales, possible locations include the county record office in the area where the hospital was located.
 
 
 
In the London area the records may be at the:

'''Health Boards - Scotland'''
 
 
 
In Scotland, the hospital records were the responsibility of Health Boards (or Services) in each area. These were often absorbed into the archives of the universities when they took over the role of training nurses, but some are still held by large hospitals.

Research Guides on military nursing are available on the National Archives website: Military Records Information 55, 56 & 57. These provide a brief history of Army, Navy and RAF nursing. Each contains a detailed list of relevant records held at the National Archives and other UK archives.
 
  
The Volunteer Aid Detachments (VADs) were started by the Red Cross and St John's Ambulance Service to provide assistance for army medical services during World War One. They trained volunteers in first aid and other skills. During the Second World War they came under the jurisdiction of the military despite being civilians. Information on the VADs can be found at the Imperial War Museum and service records can be found by writing to the British Red Cross Society, Archives Section, Bamett Hill, Wonersh, Guildford, Surrey, GU5 0RF.
