About Monica Baly
The Monica Baly Fund was established through a gift from Dr Monica Baly’s will. Monica Baly entered nursing in the 1930s but always had a passion for history.
On retirement, Dr Baly combined these two interests to study the history of nursing. At the age of 70, she completed a PhD in Nursing and Social Change. Dr Baly's ongoing passion was reflected in her role as the first Chair of the History of Nursing Society.
Dr Baly worked with the RCN Foundation to establish the Monica Baly Fund specifically to remove the stumbling block of lack of funds for registered nurses who might otherwise not be able to undertake history of nursing activities.
