Christie Watson - The Courage To Care
Season 1, Episode 44, Sep 20, 2020, 02:51 PM
According to the Royal College of Nursing, 5,000 EU nurses left Britain in the year of BREXIT and we are currently 38,000 nurses short of what we need to run the NHS. Christie Watson celebrates the extraordinary life-saving jobs done by nurses every day, providing a vital point of human contact in an otherwise lonely life.
"Nurses aren't angels," she says, but the government needs to be held to account for the treatment of the people who look after us when we are at our most vulnerable.
Richard Kilgarriff shares OMI with the nurse who became an Costa award-winning, Sunday Times best-selling novelist, non-fiction writer and Professor of Medical and Health Humanities.
Her memoir is a whirlwind of pain, love, life and death from the frontline of nursing, up to and including the current pandemic.
