Letter from Thomas Percy Kirkpatrick on behalf of the Royal College of Physicians of Ireland (RCPI) to Sir Arthur Stanley regarding the appointment of Irish representatives to the governing board of the newly established college of nursing. According to the letter Sir John Moore and Sir Arthur Chance, both Irish representatives on the General Medical Council, will be in London next week if Stanley wishes to question them about Irish representation on the nursing council. From 1910 until 1954 Thomas Kirkpatrick (1869-1954) served as the registrar for the Royal College of Physicians of Ireland. He also served as the general secretary of the Royal Academy of Medicine in Ireland. He took a particular interest in what were then termed venereal diseases; to encourage his patients (many of whom were prostitutes) to attend, he held a clinic for women at a discreet early morning hour to facilitate anonymity.Sir Arthur Stanley (1869-1947) was a philanthropist. In 1916 Stanley founded the College of Nursing with Dame Sarah Swift and became the first chairman of the college council. Additionally, Stanley served as chairman of the British Red Cross Society's committee from 1915 and was actively involved with the Star and Garter Home for Disabled Sailors and Soldiers.
