abstract: Full honours: nursing director at Surrey and Sussex Healthcare NHS Trust Irene Scott (pictured centre) carried Nightingale's lamp last month at the annual commemoration of Florence Nightingale's birthday. She was joined at Westminster Abbey by Florence Nightingale scholars Vivienne Davies-Quarrell, director of service development at Memory Matters, a support group in north Wales for young people with dementia, and Tom Fernandez, a charge nurse at the Ian Charleson day centre for people with HIV /AIDS, at The Royal Free Hospital, London. Around 2,000 nurses and nursing leaders attended the service, at which Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams said: 'A professionalism that does not include the skills of serving human dignity is no professionalism at all'.
