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]
Current Version
There has been a new version of the title published by MA Healthcare Ltd. since at least 1992[4]. It does not appear to be connected to the older title.
