St Thomas's Hospital, Nightingale School Post basic training badge.Ophthalmic Nurse Diploma

Another scarce badge from the famous Nightingale School of Nursing.This one is a base metal pendant badge awarded for the Post Basic courses run by the school. The octagonal badge bears the crest of the hospital and is suspended from a small pin back bar brooch which on this version has a coloured bar added to this denoting the relevant training course.This badge has a blue label with OND for Ophthalmic Nurse Diploma( this was run by the Royal Ophthalmic Hospital in Waterloo as part of the Nightingale school(with thanks for the info!) ) .The rear has the monogram NS for Nightingale school and below this is a number which,I believe, also corresponds to the English National Board number of course completed. In this case it is 1114 which was the ENB Ophthalmic Nursing Course.Very Good overall condition but with some surface scratches and minor wear.The pin clasp and safety roller catch are all good.
Once again this is one of a number of similar badges being sold on behalf of a charity
