Beschreibung

Born in Christchurch in 1889, Lambie hoped to do medical training but family circumstances prevented her from going to university, and she trained to be a nurse in Christchurch. She trained as a Plunket nurse in 1924 and completed a course in public health at the University of Toronto in 1925/26. In 1928 she became one of two instructors for a postgraduate nursing programme in hospital administration and teaching or public health nursing. She was dedicated to improving the quality of nursing education and continued her work in the education of health professionals after the war. As well as supporting the work of the Maori Women's Health Leagues she held a number of international positions: in 1946 she was elected president of the Florence Nightingale International Foundation; in 1947 elected first vice-president of the International Council of Nurses; was a member of the South Pacific Board of Health from 1946?1949; and in 1950 she became chairperson of the Expert Nursing Advisory Committee of the World Health Organization.
