This badge would have been issued to qualified and registered fever nurses. The Nurses Registration Act of 1919 introduced the state registration of nurses. The Register had five parts for different types of nurse: general (women only), male nurses, children's nursing, fever nursing, mental nursing and mental deficiency nursing. The General Nursing Council for Scotland held the register for Scottish nurses which included the provision of a uniform or badge for registered nurses.
