In 1975 King's College Hospital School of Nursing joined other training departments to become Normanby College of Nursing Midwifery and Physiotherapy. It was named after Oswald Constantine John Phipps, 4th Marquis of Normanby (1912-1994), chairman of the KCH Board of Governors at the time. The College building was officially opened in 1975. It provided training in nursing, midwifery, physiotherapy, and radiography. In 1989, Normanby College and the Bromley and Camberwell Health Authorities established the Bromley and Camberwell Department of Nursing Studies, supported by the Department of Nursing Studies, King's College, and University of London. Normanby College amalgamated with the Nightingale and Guy's School of Nursing in 1993, to form the Nightingale Institute.
