Holding Their Stories – My Life in Nursing
This is not a history of the NHS or a textbook about healthcare. It is a collection of real stories—sometimes joyful, sometimes heart breaking, often humorous—that reveal the privilege of caring for people at some of the most important moments of their lives.Whether you are a nurse, healthcare professional, former patient or simply enjoy true-life memoirs, these stories will stay with you long after you've turned the final page.

In their latest podcast Niall and Roy speak with maternity review Chair, Dr Bill Kirkup following his resignation as an expert advisor to the latest government review of childbirth headed by Lady Amos.
His key reason for quitting was around natural childbirth with Dr Kirkup opposing attempts as he saw it to shut down debate on the issue. But in the podcast he is adamant that while debating the place of so called natural childbirth is essential, it is not the only issue. Instead he focuses on the current training system which sets professionals off to work for different objectives which are in opposition to each other. And that he insists that is never going to produce good, safe practice.

The Academy of Fab Stuff is a Community Interest Company whose mission is to share service improvements that work, to improve care within health and social care.
