Phyllis Friend

Dame Phyllis Muriel Friend, DBE FRCN (28 September 1922 – 24 June 2013[1]) was a British nurse and nursing officer.

Education and early career

Friend attended the Herts and Essex School in Bishop’s Stortford. Her parents both worked there - her mother was the Matron and her Father the Master. Friend originally had thought that she would like to study history and become a researcher.[2] Friend spent much of her professional career at The London Hospital where she received her basic nursing education (circa 1943) and undertook Part I Midwifery Training. She held the posts of ward sister, nurse tutor (1948) and Assistant Matron at 'The London' (1954) before becoming deputy matron at St. George's Hospital, London in 1956. In 1959, she returned to The London Hospital as Matron Designate. In 1961, she became matron.[3] In 1964, The London was the first to install its own computer system; a development in which Friend was heavily involved. In 1969, she was appointed Chief Nursing Officer at the Department of Health and Social Security in London in 1969,[4] a post she held until she retired in 1982.[5] Friend was President of the Association of Matrons 1969-1972[6]

Honours/awards

For her services to nursing she was created a Commander of the Order of the British Empire in 1972 and a Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire in 1980.[7] She was made a Fellow of the Royal College of Nursing in 1980.[8]

Dame Phyllis Friend Award

The Dame Phyllis Friend Award is awarded annually in recognition of the work of nurses using information and communications technology to support care. It results from a donation by Dame Phyllis herself to the Nursing Specialist Group, part of the Health Informatics Forum of the British Computer Society.[9]

Death

Friend died on 24 June 2013 in Princess Alexandra Hospital, Harlow after a long period of ill health.[10]
