The New Hospital
A Memory of Orsett.
In the early 1960's I worked as pre-nursing cadet and then a trainee nurse. I passed my exams in the end of 1967 and started as a registered nurse from 1968. The photo above was the first section of the new hospital - the out patient block. I remember working in this building at the begining of my time there. We still worked in the old workhouse buildings through to the end of my training. I moved away when I married but returned 2yrs later and I worked in the new casualty and on the wards of the new block. The ICU included a special area for burns cases donated by the oil companies in recognition of the service given to 5 employees who suffered terrible burns from a factory accident. My maiden name was Ann Jean Parrott and I was known as Nurse Polly.
