Specialised Nursing
[edit]There used to be a large number of specialised qualifications in nursing and allied professions granted by voluntary bodies. Those with royal charters were to some extent under government control, since changing a charter requires the agreement of the Privy Council and thus the relevant ministry.
The Royal Medico-Psychological Association (the predecessor of the Royal College of Psychiatrists) held examinations for Asylum Attendants as well as psychiatrists. The asylum attendants' certificates were for one of a number of branches, including psychiatry, mental deficiency, teaching, day care, occupational therapy and physiotherapy.
The British Tuberculosis Association (now the British Thoracic Association) certified "BTA nurses" who worked in tuberculosis sanatoria. Many of these would have transferred to another field and retrained after the institutions began to close in the 1960s.
Fever nurses, in contrast, had their own branch of the national register. RFNs also had to move on after the fever hospitals were closed.
Other bodies governed post-SRN training in fields such as orthopaedics (which used to involve a lot of plastering and traction), neurology and spinal injuries. Some of these probably continue, and new kinds of work continue to develop. Perhaps people with access to relevant sources could add information about these.
