Rosalind Paget
Résumé
Dame Mary Rosalind Paget, DBE, ARRC (4 January 1855 – 19 August 1948), was a noted British nurse, midwife and reformer. She was the first superintendent, later inspector general, of the Queen's Jubilee Institute for District Nursing, which was renamed as the Queen's Institute of District Nursing in 1928 and as the Queen's Nursing Institute in 1973.
Rosalind Paget gained experience and trained at a number of hospitals and in a number of specialities including general and children's nursing, maternity care and medical massage. She worked at the Westminster Hospital, London in 1875 and for four months in 1876. Paget also gained experience at the Liverpool Royal Infirmary, Liverpool, and the East London Children's Hospital, and Manchester General Children's Hospital, Pendlebury where she worked under Eva Luckes. She trained at The London Hospital under Matron Eva Luckes from 1882-1884, and stayed on there as Holiday Sister between 1884-1889.
During her training at The London Hospital she completed maternity training at the British Lying-In Hospital, and obtained the London Obstetrical Society certificate in January 1885. In the 1890s she played an active role in the campaign for midwife registration, giving evidence in 1892 to the select committee on midwifery, but it was not until 1902 that the Midwives Act was passed. It made it an offence for anyone not properly certificated to describe herself, or practice, as a midwife, and established the Central Midwives' Board, of which Paget was a member until 1924. She was awarded the Certificate of the Central Midwives Board in October 1903. Paget was an active member of the Matron's Aid Society, later the Midwives' Institute, which is now the Royal College of Midwives. She founded and helped edit the institute's journal, Nursing Notes (which became the Midwives' Chronicle). In 1886 Paget and a fellow sister from The London Hospital were sent by Eva Luckes to learn medical massage under Miss Buckworth, and both became Medical Masseuses.
