New RCSI artworks celebrate pioneering women in nursing and midwifery

RCSI has unveiled new sculptural portraits to celebrate two pioneering women in the field of nursing and midwifery: Florence Nightingale and Elizabeth O’Farrell.

Created by Northern Ireland sculptor John Rainey, the two artworks were commissioned by RCSI’s Faculty of Nursing and Midwifery, in partnership with the School of Nursing and Midwifery, to mark the 40th Anniversary of the Faculty’s Research and Education Conference.

The Nursing and Midwifery commission was delivered in partnership with Business to Arts, a charitable organisation that develop strategic creative partnerships between the corporate and cultural sectors.
