This red woollen cardigan was worn by dental nurse Diane Flavell in the 1980s. However, Diane says the “cardie” was exactly the same style as ones she wore when she first began dental nursing. Student dental nurses wore the red cardie only in their second year of training – the same year they began wearing veils. First-year students wore navy-blue cardigans and white, nurse-like caps.
Dental nurses today no longer wear red cardigans.
