Nurse uniform identification

Nurse uniform identification

I know this is a very long shot … A relative was a nurse at a sanatorium on the outskirts of London prior to 1903, but I’ve been unable to locate her in the 1901 census and so wonder whether her uniform (photo attached) might give a clue as to which hospital she was at. Any thoughts gratefully received.

At that time I believe that hospitals were very proud of showing who was who by the shape of the cap/bonnet. Why not write to the Royal College of Nursing, they may have archives or know where to look. It might also be worth contacting the Florence Nightingale Museum - I have absolutely no reason to think it is anything to do with St. Thomas' but they might have an idea where to look.
