round gilt and dark red enamel badge. the outer rim inscribed 'Combines Hospitals Nursing School', an added scroll on the bottom is inscribed 'Newbury. The central disc is divided into three, the background being dark red enamel, the sillouettes being in gilt: left is the cadeus (staff with snake - this snake has a very good forked tongue sticking out and appears to be smiling), at the top is the 'lamp of learning' (aladdin oil lamp style) and to the right is a casle with three towers with flags flying - (the nearest has a triangular pennant, the other two rectangular flags, sillouettes) - this is the stylised interpretation of Newbury Castle which is used in the Newbury coat of arms and often seen in local iconography such as the icon for Newbury Town Council.
Today's #HistNursing #Badge is the Combined Hospitals Training School #Newbury
As the #NHS developed nurse training was often delivered across or by several hospitals in an area, such as this one
Great snake
