About MeShield badge with the coat of arms of the City of Aberdeen. The coat of arms is in relief with the leopards bearing a small red enamelled shield. The border is enamelled blue and has the inscription "ABERDEEN / WOODEND HOSPITAL". The reverse is stamped with the Nurse's name and dates of training.

This badge design was in use until around 1957 when the last nurses recruited at Woodend Hospital completed their training. Training was later combined with Aberdeen Royal Infirmary and a new joint badge was issued.
