150 years of District Nursing07 Jul 2009

Celebrating a century and a half of nursing in the community

It’s 150 years since organised district nursing began in Liverpool – and recently on Woman’s Hour we heard how it all started. Many of you e-mailed with your own memories and we hear some of your stories. To discuss the way the service has developed over the years, and talk about the challenges that face it in the future, Jane is joined by Rosemary Cook, Director of the Queen’s Nursing Institute and by Bernadette Medcalf, chair of the District Nursing Forum at the RCN.
