A novel inspired by the brave nurses and doctors from the first NHS hospital, the Trafford General, opened after the end of World War II. An inspiring and romantic read for fans of Call the Midwife and The Nightingale Girls.

Germany has signed a declaration of complete surrender. The war is over in Europe and that day is to be celebrated as VE Day.
The mood in Park Hospital – still full of wounded American soldiers – is jubilant and hopeful, though Kitty is anything but. Her clandestine squeeze and the man she hopes to marry, James Williams has been giving her the cold shoulder for the last week, and she can’t work out why. Furthermore, her twin brother, Ned, is still missing in action – his last known whereabouts point to him being in a Japanese prisoner of war camp.
An uplifting, heart-wrenching novel based on the true story of the first ever NHS hospital, for fans of Donna Douglas and Nancy Revell.

A Nurse of a Certain Age
An Interesting story about life growing up in the 50’s. Life Was so different then, almost easier when compared to today. There was a family friend I spent a lot of time with, I always remember watching her polish her white shoes. She was an emergency room nurse and told me many stories. Thanks to Beverly, I realized I wanted to be a nurse. I loved the school I chose, new friends, classmates and the nurses that taught us, instructors and hospital staff. My hope is you will be enlightened about nurses, understand what we did and why we loved our work. Thankfully most of us were able to retired before the change to managed care.

The book covers all of the main systems in the body along with the fundamentals underpinning students’ understanding of core concepts in physiology. The use of a self-assessment approach stimulates students to actively engage with the material while they self-correct and learn.
