Higher Education

We welcome Higher Education student groups for self-guided visits or guided visits.

Our Higher Education offer allows students to investigate who Florence Nightingale was and what she did for nursing and healthcare. They are able to discover who the real person was and deepen their understanding of Florence’s achievements, moving beyond the ‘Lady with the Lamp’ legend.

We’d recommend booking a talk to enhance your self-guided visit.
