About Us
The Charing Cross Hospital League of Nurses
The League of Charing Cross Hospital nurses was founded in 1932 by Mary Smallwood Cochrane, then Matron of CXH. The overall purpose of Hospital Leagues was to provide support for their nurses at a time when there was little or no help should a nurse get sick and little professional development.
The League has four aims
.
- To encourage a high standard of professional nursing
- To act as a link between past and present nurses of Charing Cross Hospital
- To promote mutual help and social contact amongst members.
- To raise, organise and maintain Benevolent Funds for the benefit of Charing Cross Hospital Nurses to be administered by the Executive Committee.
