Maud Cattell

Maud Cattell (23 April 1857 – 25 June 1947) was a British nurse who ran the Mildmay Mission Hospital in London.

One of her sisters Emma Maria was disabled after an accident with a donkey and looking after her was one of the ways that she gained an interest and learnt about nursing.

Another sister Clara Jane Cattell was three years younger than her and she would train in Liverpool and Switzerland before becoming a deaconess at Mildmay Mission.

Cattell was able to gain support and assistance from the Elizabeth Garrett Anderson Hospital and it reopened in part.

[3] She eventually retired when she realised that a younger person was required to run the hospital and she took time to train Dora Woodhouse who became her replacement in August 1919.
