What would you name new hospitals other than NHS Nightingale? (Upbeat thread)

[MasterBruceBalloon]

I read all of these new 'field' hospitals will be called NHS Nightingale. What other names would be good?

How about NHS Cavill after Edith Cavill?

Please keep this thread upbeat and positive. Its meant to be a distraction and a chance to delve into the history of medicine and nursing for inspirational figures!!

Yes to Cavell, also Seacole.

I like the story of Elizabeth Blackwell too - after moving from the UK to the USA she was admitted to university by mistake (theirs) and became the first woman in the USA to get a medical degree. She came first in her class

Yes, Cavill is great. also Jex-Blake, Garret Anderson and Blackwell.

We already have a Garrett Anderson Centre at our local hospital.

I would maybe call the hospital after that hand washing guy, Ignaz Semmelweiss.

Well..... one of my heroes is Joseph Bazalgette, who create£ the London sewer network.... a civil engineer rather than a medic, but he saved a lot of lives.

NHS Cradock after Lucy Cradock - the first woman doctor to practise in Liverpool

Seacole and Bazalgette would be my choices too, maybe with Snow as the third non-Nightingale hospital.
