About this event
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.
