Bugs, Babies & Bed Baths: Home Nursing in Westmorland before the NHS

Janet Hargreaves

Before 1948, home nursing was funded through a patchwork of philanthropy and subscription. Creating services in remote communities was challenging and each nurse required great skill and ingenuity. This talk will use county-wide archives and a study of one village nurse, Mary Kerr, to illustrate Westmorland’s remarkable achievement.

The start time as usual is 7.15pm prompt for all talks. Please note the standard seating plan will not be used for the Free Taster Talk and Bonus Talk on 11 August and 22 September respectively, but you will have allocated seating for all other talks.

We hope many of you will subscribe to this excellent value series of talks, but for visitors and others unable to commit to them all, you are welcome to attend talks as a one-off at a price of £10.00. And please bring a friend!
