The lack of standards meant there was a lot of uncertainty about the future of nursing after the war.

Many trained nurses were concerned for their profession. Sarah Swift, the most senior nurse in charge of deploying the wartime nursing workforce, decided to take action and joined forces with politician Arthur Stanley to propose a College for Nurses. It was a shrewd move to make the demand during wartime when nurses had the full support of a grateful nation.

In 1916 the College of Nursing was established.

Education and training were at the heart of our activities. We also had other important goals: to speak up for nurses to protect their interests and well-being and to provide nursing with professional status through registration.

By the summer of 1916, the RCN had created offices in London and Edinburgh and had members across Britain and Ireland.

Targeted overseas recruitment of nurses began in the 1930s but demands for health workers were significantly increased when the National Health Service was formed in 1948.
