Description

A contribution by Michaela Schnur and Christoph von Dach

The lecture takes you on a lively journey through time to the emergence of anthroposophical nursing: from the First World War and the first nurses with a spiritual emblem, by way of Ita Wegman’s courageous path as a modern physician and clinic founder in Arlesheim, through to early nursing records, unusual external applications, international nurses’ courses and the gradual professionalisation of this special art of nursing.

A contribution by Michaela Schnur and Christoph von Dach to the 2025 International Annual Conference of the Medical Section at the Goetheanum.
