Abstract

The death of Professor Dame June Clark on May 14, 2025, led us to explore her unique legacy as a health visitor and nurse leader within the pages of this anniversary edition of the Journal of Advanced Nursing. This seemed apt as the results of one of her research studies appeared in the first ever edition of this Journal in 1976 with her paper ‘The role of the health visitor: a study conducted in Berkshire, England.’ Almost 50 years later, her name appears again in tribute and in thanks for all that she achieved. June was one of the post-Second World War generation of women who took up a nursing career and changed thinking. Her impact was often ahead of its time and is still being felt today.
