The Bromhead Institution for Nurses and the Bromhead Nursing Home (1867 to 1950), was a healthcare facility in Lincoln.
In 1864 the Ladies' Nursing Fund Committee was created to supply higher quality nurses to Lincoln County Hospital. [1] This arrangement ended three years later after a difference of opinion between the hospital authorities. [1] In 1866 the Bromhead Institution for Nurses opened to supply trained nurses for the sick poor in Lincoln, and to other hospitals, and during epidemics, such as the Lincoln typhoid epidemic. [1] [2] The institute was based in the home of Mrs Anne Fector Bromhead in Greestone Road, Lincoln. [1] [3] Although she was not formally trained as a nurse Mrs Bromhead was the first Lady Superintendent, and after her death, her daughter Henrietta became the second untrained Lady Superintendent. [1] The institute expanded and in 1887 the Red House was built on the junction of Nettleham Road and Church Lane as a memorial to Mrs Bromhead. [1] [3] This became the Bromhead Nursing Home and cared for wealthy private patients. [1] The nearby Essendon House was acquired in 1907 to provide for accommodation for the nursing staff, and offices for the Institution for Nurses. [1] Bromhead Nurses were easily recognised by their distinctive uniform of red flannel waistcoats which they wore over their bodices in winter and white pique waistcoats in summer. [3] They wore nurses caps with net ruches and two streamers down the back. [3] This was the same nurses hat and tails as worn by sisters at The London Hospital where the Bromhead's third and fourth Lady Superintendents (also known as a matron) had trained under Eva Luckes. [4]
In 1937 The Bromhead Maternity Home was opened. [1] In 1948 the NHS took over the Bromhead Nursing Home. [1] In 1981 this was taken over by a charitable trust and renamed as the Bromhead Hospital. [1] Since 2001 it has been a private hospital, and is currently part of the Circle Health Group and now known as The Lincoln Hospital. [5] Essendon House, the former nurses home and offices is now St Barnabas Hospice. [1] [6]
