A timeline of professorial inaugural lectures

Inaugural lectures are a time honoured tradition for people who have been granted a chair in an organisation. Viewed in their entirety, they offer a fascinating glimpse into the evolving issues or topics of importance to nursing. We know that this list is far from comprehensive, so do please help us to fill in the gaps by emailing nicola.mills@rcn.org.uk. In addition, RCN Archives would love to receive electronic or hard copies of individual inaugural lectures.
