London emergency hospital is NHS Nightingale.
Birmingham might be NHS Seacole.

Elsie Inglis was a doctor not a nurse, but like the others was a woman who opened war hospitals entirely without official approval or support.

Got to be!

I quite fancy Elsie’s myself (where I did my midwifery training in the 80s)

The Glasgow hospital is being named NHS Louisa Jordan, after a Glaswegian nurse who served in Serbia.

(Assorted carpingHmm on social media about whether the hospitals are called "Nightingale" or not, but I see no problem with naming individual hospitals after different people, and naming the class as "Nightingale hospitals" after the first one, just as is done with ships.)
