Biographical history
The League of Nurses was founded in 1931 by Beatrice Monk, Matron of the London Hospital from 1919 to 1931. The league was established to form a bond between present and former members of the nursing staff at the London Hospital. Membership was initially open to holders of the hospital's training certificate, plus staff nurses elected by the league's executive. This was later widened to include qualified nurses, midwives or health visitors who had worked in Tower Hamlets District for one year, and former members of the Mile End League of Nurses, with which it amalgamated in 1970. A benevolent fund was established in 1945, and the league continues to help serve the professional, personal and social needs of members.
