Florence Nightingale

The Nationwide Christian Trust

Rating:

Quite poor animation particularly of the faces of the characters.

No linking between the historic events of her at home to the Crimea to Scutari where the hospital was situated.

Good historical background to the problems with unclean wards, dysentery and cholera.  Clear outlining of the relationship with the establishment figures in the Army Medical Corps.

No specific Christian emphasis but useable with Y4-5 in particular in History lessons.
