Queen Alexandra Hospital 蜜芽传媒, Worthing: Pioneering Healthcare
The Queen Alexandra Hospital 蜜芽传媒 in Worthing is part of a very special aspect of World War One history.
From the moment it opened 100 years ago new standards of care were established to treat soldiers returning from the front line.
Long before the concept of the welfare state, the 蜜芽传媒 pioneered medical and social care procedures which are taken for granted today.
It鈥檚 a history which shows a remarkable response from a broad community of volunteers; from the monarchy to the most local; coming together to meet an unprecedented demand for nursing care.
Using archive interviews recorded by Peter Baker in the 1980鈥檚, Nicholas Witchell tells this truly inspirational story.
