The Matrons' Council for Great Britain and Ireland was established in 1894 during the campaign for the registration of nurses.

Margaret Huxley (1854–1940) was a founder member.[1] Agnes Karll (1868–1927) of Germany was named an honorary member for her role in nursing reform and advancing the nursing profession.[2]

The Council was represented on the Central Committee for the State Registration of Nurses in 1908.[3]
