The Florence Nightingale Faculty of Nursing, Midwifery and Palliative Care is a school for nurses and midwives. It also carries out nursing research and provides continuing professional development and postgraduate programmes. Formerly known as the Nightingale Training School and Home for Nurses, the faculty was established by [[Florence Nightingale]] in 1860, and was the first nursing school in the world to be continuously connected to a fully serving hospital and medical school.<ref>{{cite journal |pmid=5195090 |volume=17 |title=[The first nursing school in the world—St. Thomas Hospital School in London] |year=1969 |journal=Munca Sanit |pages=449–54 |last1=Petroni |first1=A |issue=8}}</ref>

The Nightingale Training School amalgamated with the Olive Haydon School of Midwifery and the Thomas Guy and Lewisham School of Nursing between 1991 and 1993 to form the Nightingale College of Health, which became part of King's in 1993. In 2017 it merged with the Cicely Saunders Institute, a centre for research and education in palliative care, to become the Florence Nightingale Faculty of Nursing, Midwifery and Palliative Care.<ref>{{cite web |title=A pioneering legacy|url=https://www.kcl.ac.uk/nmpc/about-us/history |publisher=King's College London|access-date=31 December 2024}}</ref>
