History
editThe School was formed in 2008 when the nursing and midwifery college merged with the allied health sciences departments.[citation needed]
The School of Nursing and Midwifery dates its history to the schools of St Bartholomew's Hospital and the Royal London Hospital, the former of which began training in 1867,[1] formalised into a School in 1877.[2] These merged in 1994 to become the St Bartholomew School of Nursing & Midwifery. In 1995 the new school was incorporated into City, University of London.[3][4] Both schools have produced many nurse leaders and educators.[citation needed]
Campus
editThe School of Health Sciences is based at City's main campus at Northampton Square.[citation needed]
