Description

Presenting the stories of hundreds of communities throughout Ireland, Jubilee Nurse details the history of a complex voluntary system which enabled the provision of trained nurses to care for patients in their own homes. This history highlights the work of exceptional Irish women from diverse backgrounds. The service they provided was funded by the voluntary efforts of the community itself and was offered to all who required it,regardless of income level, religious belief or political persuasion. Exploring a wealth of primary material about these nurses, their patients and those who administered the system, Jubilee Nurse hopes to open discussion on a valuable area of Ireland's social history which has so far been largely forgotten.
