The British Journal of Nursing

The British Journal of Nursing was a medical journal covering nursing. In addition to academic material on nursing and hospitals, the journal provided information on people and events as well as photographs and advertisements.[1][2]

History and availability

It was established in 1888 as The Nursing Record, obtaining its final title in 1902.[2] The journal was discontinued in 1956.[1]

The journal was acquired in 1893 by Bedford Fenwick and his wife, Ethel Gordon Fenwick, the founder of the Royal British Nurses Association,[3] who used it to support the campaign for the official registration of nurses.[2]

All issues of the journal are available online, having been digitised in 2001 following a grant from the Wellcome Trust.[2]
