Nursing in the United Kingdom has a long history. The current form of nursing is often considered as beginning with Florence Nightingale who pioneered modern nursing. Nightingale initiated formal schools of nursing in the United Kingdom in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The role and perception of nursing has dramatically changed from that of a handmaiden to the doctor to professionals in their own right. There are over 700,000 nurses in the United Kingdom and they work in a variety of settings,such as hospitals,health centres,nursing homes,hospices,communities,military,prisons,and academia,with most working for the National Health Service (NHS). Nurses work across all demographics and requirements of the public:adults,children,mental health,and learning disability. Nurses work in a range of specialties from the broad areas of medicine,surgery,theatres,and investigative sciences such as imaging. Nurses also work in large areas of sub-specialities such as respiratory,diabetes,cancer,neurology,infectious diseases,liver,research,cardiac,women's health,sexual health,emergency and acute care,gastrointestinal,infection prevention and control,neuroscience,ophthalmic,pain and palliative,and rheumatology. Nurses often work in multi-disciplinary teams but increasingly are found working independently.

The history of nursing in the United Kingdom relates to the development of the profession since the 1850s. The history of nursing itself dates back to ancient history,when the sick were cared for in temples and places of worship. In the early Christian era,nursing in the United Kingdom was undertaken by certain women in the Christian Church,their services being extended to patients in their homes. These women had no real training by today's standards,but experience taught them valuable skills,especially in the use of herbs and folk drugs,and some gained fame as the physicians of their era. Remnants of the religious nature of nurses remains in Britain today,especially with the retention of the job title "Sister" for a senior female nurse.
