British nurse From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Florence Nellie Udell, CBE, RGN, SRN, FRSH, FSCM[1] was a British nurse, nursing administrator and government official.
Florence Udell served as Secretary to the RCN's organisation in Scotland in 1931. In 1944 Udell was appointed Chief Nurse in the Health Division of the European Regional Officer of the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration (UNRRA). She would later go on to serve as Colonial Office Chief Nursing Officer (COCNO) and as Nursing Adviser at the Ministry of Overseas Development.
The World Health Organization received advice on nursing from a number of bodies, particularly its Expert Nursing Committees. The first, in 1950, had both Udell, and another nurse, Olive Baggallay, as members, and made a series of statements, which were to be echoed, in one form or another, over several decades.
Udell was awarded an MBE (1941), OBE (1958) and a CBE (1968).[3]
Udell served as President of the RCN from 1964 to 1966 as principal nurse in charge of the British section of the United Nations Rehabilitation and Relief Administration (UNRRA).[4]
