And mention must be made Nancy Treves, Charity and Events Officer New scholarship fund for nurses at the Royal Free Hospital The Royal Free Hospital Nurses’ Home of Rest Trust is a charity jointly managed by the Company and the Royal Free Hospital that provides scholarships and awards to nurses. At the Trust’s May meeting, the Board agreed to launch a new scholarship fund named in honour of the late Past Master Richard Stillwell, in recognition of his contribution to the Trust and the family connection to the Royal Free, where Richard’s wife, Jennifer, trained as a doctor. Since 2010, the Nursing and Midwifery Council has required pre-registration nurses to hold a degree, and as a result many employers expect nurses to hold a degree qualification. There are still a substantial number of highly experienced registered nurses working at the Royal Free who hold a Diploma in Nursing rather than a BSc (Hons). Many would like the opportunity to undertake a top-up degree in nursing to maximise their development and career progression. The new scholarship fund will provide five scholarships for registered nurses at the Royal Free to undertake their BSc (Hons) Professional Practice in Nursing at Middlesex University. It is hoped that the first recipients of these new scholarships will start their top-up courses in October 2017. 2 The Cordwainer Master’s Column When I reflect on the last year, I am veryWhen pleased I reflect to report on the that last one year, of my I am very pleased to report that one mainof my ambitions, main ambitions, to encourage to moreencourage more participation in Company events,participation has innot Company only been events, successful, has not but also the source of many happyonly been memories successful, and but also great the achievement source for us all. of many happy memories and great achievement for us all.

  • Radical Republicanism in England, America, and the Imperial Atlantic, 1624-1661
    RADICAL REPUBLICANISM IN ENGLAND, AMERICA, AND THE IMPERIAL ATLANTIC, 1624-1661 by John Donoghue B.A., Westminster College, New Wilmington, PA, 1993 M.A., University of Pittsburgh, 1999 Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of the School of Arts and Sciences in partial fulfillment of the Doctor of Philosophy University of Pittsburgh 2006 UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH Faculty of Arts and Sciences This dissertation was presented by John Donoghue It was defended on December 2, 2005 and approved by William Fusfield, Associate Professor, Department of Communication Janelle Greenberg, Professor, Department of History Jonathan Scott, Professor, Department of History Dissertation Director: Marcus Rediker, Professor, Department of History ii Copyright by John Donoghue 2006 iii RADICAL REPUBLICANISM IN ENGLAND, AMERICA, AND THE IMPERIAL ATLANTIC, 1624-1661 John Donoghue, Ph.D. University of Pittsburgh, April 30, 2006 This dissertation links the radical politics of the English Revolution to the history of puritan New England. It argues that antinomians, by rejecting traditional concepts of social authority, created divisive political factions within the godly party while it waged war against King Charles I. At the same time in New England, antinomians organized a political movement that called for a democratic commonwealth to limit the power of ministers and magistrates in religious and civil affairs. When this program collapsed in Massachusetts, hundreds of colonists returned to an Old England engulfed by civil war. Joining English antinomians, they became lay preachers in London, New Model Army soldiers, and influential supporters of the republican Levellers. This dissertation also connects the study of republican political thought to the labor history of the first British Empire.

  • City of London Spatial Classification
    LONDON ELECTORAL HISTORY – STEPS TOWARDS DEMOCRACY 7.8 LONDON AND SPATIAL CLASSIFICATION Note: Following the LEH website conventions, ‘London’ refers to the parliamentary constituency. ‘City of London’ is the spatial entity O! [London’s] Lamps of a night! Her rich goldsmiths, print shops, toy shops, mercers, hardwaremen, pastry cooks! – St. Paul’s churchyard, the Strand! Exeter Change! – Charing Cross, with the man upon a black horse! – These are thy Gods O London – … All the streets and pavements are pure gold, I warrant you. – At least I know an Alchemy that turns her mud into that metal – a mind that loves to be at home in Crowds... .1 ‘London’ has long meant different things to different people. As Charles Lamb’s enthusiastic commentary indicated, it catered well for those who could cope with its crowds and diversity. Administrative London, the centre of national government, overlapped with the legal and legislative centres of the nation, while the West End became the seasonal playground of the well-to-do and the home of smart shops, with poor areas providing cheap labour tucked among the grandeur. Eastwards, commercial and financial London focused on the port and the City of London itself. It had a different appearance: of wharves and warehouses riverwards, and dwelling-places and nearby counting-houses. To take one literary example, Elizabeth Bennet’s uncle Gardiner was a City wholesaler, living, as Jane Austen specified, ‘by trade and within view of his own warehouses.’2 But over time, the City’s business premises were increasingly supplanting residential properties within the inner city, as the march of London into Middlesex provided accommodation for the teeming masses of the metropolis.
