On 26th November 1917 Elsie Inglis, the Scottish nursing pioneer and suffragette, died.

There are very few people who were neither born or died in Scotland that are as highly regarded and respected as Scots, than Elsie Inglis, the only other that springs to mind is Eric Liddell.

Elsie parents were Scots Harriet Lowes Thompson and John Inglis, who worked for the East India Company, when her father retired from his job in 1878 the Inglis family returned to Scotland and settled in Edinburgh.

Having studied medicine at the Edinburgh School of Medicine for Women Inglis subsequently established her own medical college. She qualified as a doctor and secured a teaching appointment at the New Hospital for Women.  A keen suffragette Inglis was later to found her own maternity hospital entirely staffed by women.

In 1906 Inglis played a notable role in the establishment of the Scottish Women’s Suffrage Federation.  The outbreak of war in Europe in August 1914 brought about a temporary ceasefire where political - including suffragette - issues were concerned, and Inglis promptly suggested the creation of women’s medical units on the Western Front.

The British government reacted to Inglis’s idea was frowned upon, she was told  “‘my good lady, go home and sit still’. .  Nevertheless a similar offer made directly to the French government was warmly received and Inglis travelled to France within three months of the outbreak of war, with the Abbaye de Royaumont hospital, containing some 200 beds, in place by December 1914. This was later followed by a second hospital at Villers Cotterets in 1917.

Inglis was active in arranging for the despatch of women’s units to other fighting areas aside from the Western Front, the first Scottish Women’s Hospital field unit was formed in December 1914 in a town called Kragujevac in Serbia.others followed  at Salonika, Romania, Malta and Corsica in 1915 and to Russia the following year.

Inglis herself served in Serbia from 1915 until the Serbian government and army withdrew to Corfu ,she had been held prisoner for a period until U.S. diplomatic pressure brought about her release.   Thereafter based in Russia she was taken ill, the government demanded she come home but Elsie refused until the Serbian soldiers were guaranteed safe passage. The boat brought them back to Newcastle and Elsie, who was crippled with illness, could hardly walk as she greeted Serbian soldiers on deck. She was so frail she had to be carried off to a nearby hotel where she died on 26th  November 1917.

Elsie’s body was taken “home” to Edinburgh where it was interned in Dean Cemetery, beforehand it lay in state in St Giles’ Cathedral.  Her funeral there on 29th November was attended by both British and Serbian royalty.

The SWH continued its work for the duration of the war, sending out more units and raising money for the work. Remaining funds were used to establish the Elsie Inglis Memorial Maternity Hospital in Edinburgh in July 1925, it closed in 1988.

There is a Memorial Drinking Fountain “Crkvenac” in Mladenovac, Serbia commemorating her work for the country. A plaque commemorates her at 8 Walker Street, Edinburgh. A portrait of her is included in the mural of heroic women by  Walter P. Starmer at  St Jude’s Church, Hampstead Garden, London. In 1922 a large tablet to her memory (sculpted by  Pilkington Jackson)  was erected in the north aisle of St Giles on Edinburgh’s Royal Mile.  

A movie is set to be made of her biography, penned by her sister, Eva called The Woman With the Torch, no date yet about a release, work is ongoing as far as I can see,

Edinburgh is set to have a statue erected to Elsie, it will be the first woman to be commemorated with a statue on the Royal Mile at the site of her hospice on the High Street, which is between the Bridges and The Netherbow.  Unfortunately controversy has meant it has been put on hold after a bitter row about the choice of sculptor.

Anger erupted after the trustees suspended their open call for designs and instead commissioned Stoddart, the King’s sculptor in ordinary in Scotland. 

In late September, they tweeted: “The call to artists has been suspended indefinitely owing to considerations that have been brought to the attention of the trustees in recent weeks. This information has therefore rendered the brief as published suboptimal to ensure the successful outcome of the project at design scheduling and budgetary levels.”

The furore has brought fresh attention to the absence of female statuary in Edinburgh, which has dozens of monuments to male soldiers, kings, intellectuals and physicians. Those include one of Stoddart’s best-known works, a large bronze of the philosopher David Hume outside the high court near St Giles’.

Part of the problem is that some say the statue should be made by a woman, and I agree, why should a woman not get to make a a statue about a woman who did a lot for their rights. Edinburgh should be making a stand on this.

I know you’re a vet from what you’ve posted and out of curiosity’s sake what did you have to study to go down that path?

Hello :) I am not actually a vet, I am a vet nurse. We exist in the same sense as human nurses who assist doctors :) 

In terms of aiming to study either as a vet or a nurse, from GCSE and A Level (or whatever your country’s equivalent of secondary school grades are) you’ll definitely want to focus on science subjects - vet schools and nursing courses definitely want to see good grades in those. And another big part of applications, particularly for vet schools, is work experience. Try and get yourself volunteer jobs or work experience days in any animal-related field you can. It doesn’t have to be vet clinics, any sort of farm, pet shop, boarding kennels or rescue centre will help improve your application. 

I did do things slightly differently. I studied for BTEC Diplomas in Agriculture and Horticulture, as well as Animal Science and Management whilst living in Malta. As part of both my courses I undertook a work placement at the national stray hospital on the island, which is what sparked my interest in getting into nursing. I moved back to the UK to peruse this and trained whilst employed at my clinic. 

I hope this is helpful for you :)

TV Shows People MUST Checkout (Including Google Overviews.)

It’s just facts 🤷‍♀️

WARNINGS! Please note that some of these shows involve nudity, sexual scenes, violence and other mature themes that aren’t for everybody! (Red text)

-Downton Abbey (I love this series, every character, plot, and scene is always a masterpiece.) This historical drama follows the lives of the Crawley family and their servants in the family's Edwardian country house. The programme begins with the 1912 sinking of the Titanic, which leaves Downton Abbey's future in jeopardy, as Lord Grantham's presumptive heir -- his cousin James -- and his son, Patrick, die aboard the ship, leaving him without a male offspring to take over the throne upon his death. As a result, Lord Grantham must search for a new heir. As the programme progresses through the decade, other historical events happen leading up to Lord Grantham declaring in 1914 that Britain is at war with Germany, marking the beginning of World War I, which becomes a major plot on the programme. Does deal with difficult topics!

-Outlander (I actually just started this one but I’m really enjoying it.) After serving as a British Army nurse in World War II, Claire Randall is enjoying a second honeymoon in Scotland with husband Frank, an MI6 officer looking forward to a new career as an Oxford historian. Suddenly, Claire is transported to 1743 and into a mysterious world where her freedom and life are threatened. To survive, she marries Jamie Fraser, a strapping Scots warrior with a complicated past and a disarming sense of humour. A passionate relationship ensues, and Claire is caught between two vastly different men in two inharmonious lives. `Outlander' is adapted from the best-selling books by Diana Gabaldon. Maturity Warning! This show contains vivid violence and sexual scenes! GRAPHIC!

-Game Of Thrones (Lets be real everybody and their mother knows the existence of this series but just in case you hadn’t here it is. This series is my personal favorite regardless of the disaster that was the last season. Honestly everything until that point I loved, I watched it all in a month) George R.R. Martin's best-selling book series "A Song of Ice and Fire" is brought to the screen as HBO sinks its considerable storytelling teeth into the medieval fantasy epic. It's the depiction of two powerful families -- kings and queens, knights and renegades, liars and honest men -- playing a deadly game for control of the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros, and to sit atop the Iron Throne. Martin is credited as a co-executive producer and one of the writers for the series, whose shooting locations include Northern Ireland, Malta, Croatia and Spain. (Way more families are involved, but okay google.) Maturity Warning! This show contains vivid violence and sexual scenes! GRAPHIC!

-Anne with an E (SO underrated! Very good though!) This reimagining of the classic book and film is a coming-of-age story about a young orphan who is seeking love, acceptance and her place in the world. Amybeth McNulty stars as Anne, a 13-year-old who has endured an abusive childhood in orphanages and the homes of strangers. In the late 1890s, Anne is mistakenly sent to live with aging siblings, Marilla and Matthew Cuthbert, who live on Prince Edward Island. Anne, who proves to be uniquely spirited, imaginative and smart, transforms the lives of Marilla, Matthew and everyone else in their small town.

-Glee (It’s just good folks, a very enjoyable show up until season 5 personally.) Optimistic teacher Will Schuester heads up McKinley High School's glee club -- New Directions -- a place where ambitious and talented students can find strength, acceptance and their voice. As the students find themselves, they also enjoy a respite from the harsh realities of life. Mr. Schuester hopes to help the kids in every way he can, and also dreams of taking the group to nationals. As Schuester and the glee club pursue their goal, they face opposition from a conniving cheerleading coach, Sue Sylvester, who tries to sabotage the group at every turn.

-Stranger Things (At this point if you haven’t seen it I’m shocked. I will say I wasn’t a huge fan of season 1, and questioned if I should continue, but I assure you the next two seasons were great. If you were kinda like me and not into the first season, I’d highly recommend to keep going as I loved it. Season 1 had to world build. I won’t insert a overview because the overview is for season 2, so I’d just head to Netflix and read what season 1 is all about.)

-Jane the Virgin (I haven’t completed it but the story is overall compelling and I’m sure you’ll enjoy it.) The daughter of a teen mother, Jane Villanueva grew up determined not to repeat her mom's mistakes. At 23, her life is on track; Jane is studying to be a teacher and engaged to a handsome detective who supports her decision to remain a virgin until marriage. Then a routine clinic visit flips her life upside down. Inseminated by a specimen meant for a patient in the next room, now-pregnant Jane is in a situation made only more insane when she learns that the sperm donor is her boss, Rafael. As her meticulously planned life gets more like the telenovelas she loves, she faces a lot of complicated decisions about where to go from here.

-Lucifer (If none of these peak your interest, please atleast check this one out. It’s just. So good. It’s something that anyone can get enjoyment out of. ) Based on characters created by Neil Gaiman, Sam Kieth and Mike Dringenberg, this series follows Lucifer, the original fallen angel, who has become dissatisfied with his life in hell. After abandoning his throne and retiring to Los Angeles, Lucifer indulges in his favorite things (women, wine and song) -- until a murder takes place outside of his upscale nightclub. For the first time in billions of years, the murder awakens something unfamiliar in Lucifer's soul that is eerily similar to compassion and sympathy. Lucifer is faced with another surprise when he meets an intriguing homicide detective named Chloe, who appears to possess an inherent goodness -- unlike the worst of humanity, to which he is accustomed. Suddenly, Lucifer starts to wonder if there is hope for his soul.

On January 22, 1788, one of the most infamous poets of all time was born in England. Lord Byron, born as George Gordon Byron, was notorious for sexual escapades and being quite the asshole around town.

In his early years, Lord Byron faced many challenges. His father abandoned him at a very young age. His mother was schizophrenic. And his nurse abused him. Byron never had much of any discipline and he lacked a sense of moderation. As we all know, these traits followed him into his later life. In 1798, at age ten, George inherited the title of his uncle, William Byron, and from then on was called Lord Byron. At age 12, Byron began studying at Harrow School in London where he experienced the first, of many, sexual encounters with males and females. In 1803, Byron fell in love with a distant cousin, where the love was not requinted. From this, Byron wrote poems such as "Hills of Annesley" and "The Adieu." From 1805 to 1808, Byron studied at Trinity College, where he engaged in many sexual escapades as well as fell into deep debt. When he was not engaging in unspeakable acts, Byron enjoyed boxing, horse riding, and, you guessed it, gambling.

While he was not in school, Byron stayed with his mother in Nottinghamshire, where he spent a lot of time writing poems. At one point he had written a collection titled ‘Fugitive Pieces’ the later was burned at the advice of a close friend, because of the ‘amorous’ contents of some of the poems. Later, Byron produced ‘Hours of Idleness’ which contained many of the previous poems along with some newer pieces. This collection received great criticism which later prompted Byron to write his first satire piece, ‘English Bards and Scottish Reviewers.’ After some time and when he returned from traveling, Byron trusted R. C. Dallas as his literary agent and asked him to publish his poem ‘Childe Harold’s Pilgrimage.’ Byron thought this poem as something not so great, however, it was received with acclaim. In his success, he published four other poems: Oriental Tales, The Giaour, The Bride of Abydos, The Corsair, and Lara. It is also during this time in which he began an intimacy with his future biographer, Thomas Moore.

From 1809 to 1811, Byron spent time on the Grand Tour where he traveled with Hobhouse for the first year and his entourage of servants. This entourage included Byron’s trusted valet, William Fletcher. Since the Napoleonic Wars were in their midst, Byron was forced to avoid traveling to most of Europe. Instead, Byron went to the Mediterranean. This journey provided Byron with the chance to get away from creditors. Historians have also found that in letters from Byron’s friend, Charles Skinner Matthews, another motive for heading to the Mediterranean was in pursuit of homosexual experiences. Byron began the trip to Portugal, then to Lisbon. From Lisbon, he traveled to Seville, Jerez de la Frontera, Cadiz, Gibraltar, Malta, and Greece. During his time in Greece, in Athens, Byron met a 14-year-old named Nicolo Giraud who he became quite close with. It’s suggested that the two were intimate and had a sexual affair. Byron sent Giraud to school at a monastery in Malta and gave him 7,000 euros. However, later this was canceled because Byron stated he was tired of ‘coitum plenum et optabilem.’ This translates to ‘complete intercourse to one’s heart desire.’ In 1810, Byron wrote ‘Maid of Athens, ere we part’ for a 12-year-old girl named Teresa Makri. Byron reportedly offered 500 euros for her, but the offer was not accepted. Later, Byron made his way to Smyrna where he and Hobhouse got a ride to Constantinople. While waiting for their ship to dock, Byron and one of the ships Marines, swam the Hellespont. This is commemorated in the second canto of Don Juan.

Due to his publication of ‘Childe Harold’s Pilgrimage,’ Byron became quite the celebrity. “He rapidly became the most brilliant star in the dazzling world of Regency London. He was sought after at every society venue, elected to several exclusive clubs, and frequented the most fashionable London drawing-rooms.” Byron produced many works during this time, including The Giaour, The Bride of Abydos, Parisina, The Siege of Corinth, and Hebrew Melodies. At this time, Byron was also involved in an affair with Lady Caroline Lamb, amongst others. He also acquired debt and was seeking marriage. One consideration for marriage was Annabella Milbanke, however, in 1813, he met his half-sister Augusta Leigh. There sparked many rumors of incest and Augusta’s daughter, Medora, was also suspected to belong to Byron. However, Annabella and Byron married on January 2, 1815, and their daughter Ada was born in December the next year. The marriage was miserable due to Byron’s incessant cheating and obsession with his half-sister. Annabella even considered Byron insane, and in January 1816 she left him and took their daughter. The scandal of separation along with the rumors of Augusta and an ever-increasing debt caused Byron to flee England in April 1816. He never returned.

After fleeing England, Byron journeyed through Belgium and moved up the Rhine river. In the summer of 1816, Byron settled at the Villa Diodati by Lake Geneva in Switzerland. With him was his personal physician, John William Polidori. It was in Geneva that Byron found friendship in Percy Bysshe Shelley, Mary Wollstonecraft Godwin Shelley, and Claire Clairmont, with whom he had had an affair with in London. Because of “incessant rain” the group was kept indoors at the Villa Diodati for three days in June. During this time the five turned to reading and soon started planning their own stories. This is where Mary started Frankenstein. John Polidori wrote a piece titled ‘The Vampyre’ inspired by one of Byron’s stories. Later in the year, Byron spent his winter in Venice, only pausing his travels when he fell in love with Marianna Segati, a woman who’s house Byron was staying. Later this love was replaced by that of a 22-year-old named Margarita Cogni. Both women were married. Cogni could not read or write and she left her husband to move into Byron’s Venice house. They fought quite a bit which often cause Byron to spend the night in his gondola. Later, when Byron asked Cogni to leave the house, she threw herself into the Venetian canal. Byron spent quite some time in Italy and later in Greece. In Greece, Byron got himself into a bit of political trouble with Souliots, who demanded that Byron owned them money.

On February 15, 1824, Byron fell ill and bloodletting only weakened him. He partially recovered, but then fell ill once more in early April. Therapeutic bleeding insisted on by his doctors, only worsened his cold. It is believed that because of this treatment, Byron caught sepsis. He later caught a fever and soon after passed on April 19th.

Byron’s life was full of chaos and the man is still infamous to this day. Granted, we got quite the number of poems from him though. Poems that are still studied and admired today.

‘Study In Europe' Is Set To Become All The Rage For Indian Students In 2022 Intakes

As a result of the Covid 19 epidemic, 2020 was a shocking year for students who wanted to study abroad, but the advent of online courses, as well as the introduction of vaccines, should keep them connected to their education. Much has changed in 2021 when an increasing number of students choose to expand their studies at universities abroad.

Last year, Indian students took their education to the next level by enrolling in full degree programs at foreign institutions. More and more students are finding that studying abroad is a worthwhile and time-consuming task. Therefore, Students wishing to study abroad are preparing to apply to foreign colleges without restrictions.

Edugo Abroad Business Director, Mr. Bhargav Modi, confidently hopes, "Studying in Europe will be a great rage for Indian students by 2022." During his insightful discussions with European affiliated universities, industrialists, and students, he saw a growing popularity of the ‘Study in Europe’ practice.

In this blog, Mr. Bhargav answers some of the most important questions and explains the rapidly growing philosophy among students 'For a Study in Europe'.

1. What is the current status of the abroad education scenario in India?

Considering the current situation, there has been an increase in the need for study abroad, especially in Europe. Even students who missed out on enrollment in 2021 have joined the student riots in anticipation of taking in 2022.

Mr. Bhargav pointed out, “Students have already started their application process. We have succeeded in getting visa approval again, as many countries are now open to international students. You can clearly see the excitement on both sides of the stage. ”

2. What are the most popular destinations for students to study in Europe?

Europe is home to a few famous places to study abroad like France, Greece, Ireland, Poland, and other countries. This integrated group of destinations host a series of prestigious universities with QS and other prestigious entities. More importantly, these colleges offer accredited programs for students who want to study in Europe.

Among them, France is highly regarded for its Fashion-Luxury, Management & IT programs and Ireland attracts students from IT and pharmaceutical backgrounds. Greece and Poland are known for their hospitality and technology courses respectively.

Also, Malta has a special nurses program (bridge) that allows those who want to study abroad to work as registered nurses in all EU member states.

Our guide noted, "Europe is a treasure trove of opportunities where students find thousands of hopes and decide on a choice that best suits their interests and future goals."

3. Why has Europe become the most preferred choice for study abroad aspirants in India?

Students choose to study in Europe for a number of reasons. In addition to being flexible in choosing courses, European universities with modern campuses are well-focused on a 360-degree study experience for students. They have a wide range of accredited programs specifically designed to develop and match the skills of students and the benchmarks of the field.

Another compelling reason why international students choose to study in Europe is that most countries present a visa for post-employment work, which improves their employment. In addition, a high quality education from these listed universities puts students ahead of high-paying jobs.

"All of this, with the most affordable cost and cost of living compared to your destination in other parts of the world." added Mr. Bhargav.

4. The COVID-19 pandemic gave a major impetus to the digital movement, especially IT & computer sectors. Does it influence the study abroad trends?

“Certainly, yes! In the aftermath of the current digital wave, students are increasingly switching to IT-centric courses. And with world-class universities and leading technology companies, Europe has become a platform for the global IT industry ”. With this response, Mr. Bhargav Modi emphasized the growing popularity of both - IT as a student area and Europe as a common ground.

Most notably, countries like France and Ireland offer countless dedicated courses to students who want to study in Europe. However, the availability of multiple IT options often creates confusion among students during subject choices. That is why we have compiled a list of advanced IT courses that we will study in Europe in 2022. This complete list will help students make the right choice.

5. What's the reason behind Europe's increased popularity as a study abroad destination in the last decade?

Students from all over the world are beginning to realize the wonderful benefits of learning in Europe. As most universities offer a 100% placement guarantee, it is clear that students may want to study in Europe. In addition, the colleges offer important internships and scholarship opportunities to strengthen the practical capacity of students.

With short-term plans at the lowest cost, Europe is clearly surpassing other areas that offer expensive, 4-year plans. And perhaps the highlight of learning in Europe is that students have the opportunity to study the same subjects in more than one EU member state.

Mr. Bhargav added, “One of the great places for students to see is the alumni of these universities working with high-quality products. As expected, their enthusiasm is high as they seek a kind of education that enables them to work with Fortune 500 companies.”

The Bottom Line

Overseas education requires significant investment, not only financially but also in terms of time and emotion. There are many factors involved in the decision-making process and it is appropriate for students to expect a fair return on their investment.

Like studying abroad, Europe easily simplifies other areas in almost every aspect. Some countries require 4 years of education for themselves and one year or more to seek employment. But Europe does it in about 3 years and guarantees a better ROI at the same time.

Mr. Bhargav concluded, “The decision to study abroad is obviously a big step for students and they need proper guidance throughout their journey. And as a leading partner in Europe, Edugo Abroad's goal is to make it easier and more convenient for Indian students to study in Europe. "

What made you want to enter veterinary medicine?

I’ve always had an interest in working with animals. I worked unpaid on a farm every week from when I was 13 - 16. When I moved to Malta at 16 I studied Animal Management and Science, part of which involved work placements at rescue centres, pet shops (horrific) and a veterinary hospital. Working at the hospital is what inspired me to become a veterinary nurse, but sadly it’s a very under-developed profession in Malta with no formal recognition or qualification. I moved back to the UK when I was 19 (2015. Showing my age lol) in order to get into the industry, which I did, and have been here happily ever since :)
