To all ex staff. On Saturday 19th February at the Local Studies and Archives between 10:30am - 3:30pm, we are holding a hospital memory day. So if you worked at any of the hospitals, or other parts of the NHS we would love to share your memories and photographs. If you can`t get along we would still like to hear from you, so if you wish to take part please send your memories to the Oldham Local Studies and Archives, 84 Union Street, Oldham. OL1 1DN or archives@oldham.gov.uk.This is now an interest group established to try and save as much history to hopefully pass on to future generations.
Replacement Nursing Badges.
I received an email recently informing me that the person who had sent it had contacted Salford University for a replacement badge and was advised to contact:-
The Programme Support Officer - Pre Registration Programmes

Tel: 0161 295 6471
There is a charge and the nurses name and date of training etc will be required.
Message from from Nicola Fisher nee Riley.
Trained at oldham 1989-1992 with Mr Jepson, am doing a return to nursing course at the moment not sure if I'm doing the right thing as it all seems so different , was so much fun 20 years ago training and then working in A& E. It was so much better when nursing schools were smaller friendlier places.
Message from Emma Kershaw nee shaw.
I trained with Nicola Fisher and I agree we had an amazing time with the wonderful Mr Jepson, we tried our hand at all aspects of nursing before we qualified and I had a wonderful (although hard work and tiring) 19yrs on trauma orthopaedics before I left to be with my kids. such a shame the training changed.

Message from Stephanie in Australia
Hi, Can you tell me how I can access the lists of nurses at Oldham Hospital in the mid 1900's. (From Australia that is)I am told one of my families Aunts was "a big cheese" - namely 'Head Ward Maid' - at Oldham Royal working with Dr Steptoe. It appears it could be Edith Stephenson. However I have 2! One born approx 1896 and I dont know her married name, the other 1917 - 1988.
I hope you can help.
