Her papers helped to found the Florence Nightingale Museum (Museum and Galleries Commission Registration #584), opened in 1989, which was based on the life of Florence Nightingale. It is on the historical site of the first purpose built nurse training institution, the Nightingale Training School for Nurses, which closed in 1996) at St Thomas' Hospital.

Florence Nightingale Museum

The collections held by the Museum may be traced back to the gifts from Florence Nightingale to the nurses at St Thomas' in the late 1800s; Lloyd-Still was Matron of St Thomas' from 1913 to 1937. There were plans for a Nightingale Museum as early as the 1930s but these were shelved with the Second World War and not reconsidered till the late 1970s. Prior to the formation the collections were displayed and received acclaim on major anniversaries such as 1954 (the Crimean Centenary), 1960 (the Nightingale Training School Centenary) and 1970 (the 150th anniversary of Nightingale's birth). The Florence Nightingale Museum Trust was formed in 1983 and is run as an independent charity.

The Museum has strong links with Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust, with the British National Health Service in general and with nursing organizations across the world. The Museum aims to provide excellent educational services for a range of users from special educational needs groups in the local community to international nurses. The Museum had 27,400 visitors in 2004. The Museum is a Registered Charity #299576.

One of Lloyd-Still's most notable students was Theodora Turner.
