The study contains oral history accounts from the nurses who have trained and worked in Liverpool both in the hospitals and the community. They follow in the footsteps of Florence Nightingale who in collaboration with William Rathbone VI pioneered modern nursing practice. It is a story of dedication, innovation and, above all, caring.
