John Greenwood: may I ask, why a 3 year stay?
I had 2 separete sojourns each almost a year in the '50s. Cannot remember the ward numbers though.

Mr Metcalf was my consultant. Sister Mackie (MacKay?) our ward sister on some  wards.
I am interested in finding more history etc.

Hello, my name is Paul Brown.

My special brother David stayed at Queen Mary's  in 1976 in Ward F5.

He has been asking after Sister Detwoir.

He says she had  black straight hair and a bicycle.

David Brown is now 42 and has nice  memories of Sister Detwoir. If you have any news of her we would be gratefull  to hear.

Thank you for your help,

Best wishes Paul and David

I've just come across this site and felt compelled to write.

I was an in  patient in or around 1957 as a three year old undergoing what must have been  significant surgery (I still have the scars :) )

I still have a memento of  my time at QMH a Baby's own Annual from 1957, inscribed "Jonathan Pyke for  being such a brave boy" one vivid memory is calling a Dr. A Rat for injecting  me!

We received this message from our member Rosemary Whitcher. Photos were not sent to us at the website, so perhaps someone else in the website membership knows about it? [Webmaster]
========================================

Hi,

I attended the Re-Union last summer and sent photos for display at Honeywood Museum. What has happened to the photos and can they be added to the website?

 Many thanks,

    Rosemary Buckett. ( nee. Whitcher )

I found this reference to Eva Jordan:
"Queen Mary's Hospital for Children, Carshalton, Surrey. — Miss Eva
Jordan has been appointed Sister. She was trained at the Royal Albert
Hospital, Devonport, and has been a Staff Nurse in Q.A.I.M.N.S.R. in
charge of wards and theatre. She has had experience of private nursing and
is a certified midwife."

I have been researching an ancestor, Margaret
Jordan, who raised a stepdaughter Eva.

=======================================

I trained at QMH (RSCN/SRN) from 1980 – 1984, since then, our set have had two reunions but laterly I have lost touch with most of the group – it would be great to catch up with people again. 

Mrs Tucker (Maureen) was our group tutor, but I also have memories of Sister Marian and Sister Rayner.

Nurses in our set included Julie Mallett, Caroline Edwards, Karen Shotter, Sue Crossley, Rachel Balls, Hazel Dear, ........
