Английская Википедия:British Hospitals Association
The British Hospitals Association was established by Henry Burdett in 1884.[1]
In 1887 it established a register of trained nurses for those who could show that they had worked for at least a year in a hospital or an infirmary and had been trained in the duties of a nurse.
It ran a Nurses Co-operative in the early years of the twentieth century which employed 500 nurses and had a turnover of £50,000 a year.[2]
Sir Arthur Stanley was chairman in 1924.[3]
Bernard Docker was the chairman in 1941.[4] It was involved in discussions about the organisation of the future National Health Service, particularly about the regional hospital boards.[5] It supported the objective of a free comprehensive health service, but warned that transfer of ownership of hospitals would lead to autocratic bodies taking the place of locally elected committees.[6]
