Florence Nightingale or “The Lady of The Lamp” was a Supernurse born in 1820, who through the course of her work developed ideas and theories that have influenced the world of medicine in fields of hospital planning, military health and sanitation.
She trained in Germany, and went on to play a part in healthcare during the Crimean War, developing the treatment of soldiers in the field.
Returning to England she established the Nightingale Training School in London before her death in 1910.
Nightingale also popularised the use of the pie chart and visual statistics.
