As punishment for some youthful high jinks, 16-year-old Jimmy Frazier is made to volunteer in a London hospital. The experience shocks him, and he swears he will never set foot on a ward again.
Two decades later, older but not a lot wiser, some strange twists of fate lead Jimmy back to hospital – but this time as a student nurse.
Along with a motley crew of fellow students, Jimmy throws himself into the heart of the NHS. Whether caring for patients in children’s hospitals, prisons, mental health facilities or post-surgical wards, Jimmy and his fellow students attempt to make a difference. On their way they are inspired by the angelic Super Nurse and the acid-tongued Mr Temple. But can they stick out the three years it takes to make the grade as a fully-qualified nurse...?
Fresh, funny and poignant, Nurse! Nurse! sheds a whole new light on the world of the student nurse.

This self help book is designed to be something that will be a useful part of your life not just a few hours read. I wanted to create something that covered many of life's difficulties so that over the years you always have a reference manual with ruffled edges from continued use. This book covers self help topics from depression, anxiety, PTSD, phobias, OCD and pain management, to addictions and sleep difficulties. Unlike many other books I don't want to portray that I am the cause of your positive change. My aim is to be a guide that gives you ideas to help you take control in your life for your own change work.

Psychiatric disorders are common and are of major public health concern. In fact, four of the ten leading causes of disability in the world are mental illnesses. Mental illnesses are not only debilitating to the individual but are also of substantial concern to the immediate family and to the community. Despite such high impact, mental illnesses receive significantly less attention in comparison to other medical disorders. Moreover, mental illnesses are highly associated with social stigma, which prevent many from getting proper treatment and/or support. As such, there is a huge need to improve awareness and educate the public about psychiatric disorders. This could be accomplished by various means. However, one such impact method would be a narration by an individual who has experienced psychiatric disorder personally and that is what the story brings out.
The author has put in a great effort to narrate his feelings and experiences as he suffered through different phases of his disorder. He elaborates on how he went from a phase of lack of insight about his disorder to accepting the disorder and seeking treatment. The suffering is immense and the author was able to communicate this clearly and succinctly in this book. This is probably one of the very few autobiographies written by an individual suffering from psychiatric disorders. It is a book worth reading by mental health policy

‘Delivering my first baby is a memory that will stay with me forever. Just feeling the warmth of a newborn head in your hands, that new life, there’s honestly nothing like it… I’ve since brought more than 2,200 babies into the world, and I still tingle with excitement every time.’
It’s the summer of 1968 and St Mary’s Maternity Hospital in Manchester is a place from a bygone age. It is filled with starched white hats and full skirts, steaming laundries and milk kitchens, strict curfews and bellowed commands. It is a time of homebirths, swaddling and dangerous anaesthetics. It was this world that Linda Fairley entered as a trainee midwife aged just 19 years old.
From the moment Linda delivered her first baby – racing across rain-splattered Manchester street on her trusty moped in the dead of night – Linda knew she’d found her vocation. ‘The midwife’s here!’ they always exclaimed, joined in their joyful chorus by relieved husbands, mothers, grandmothers and whoever else had found themselves in close proximity to a woman about to give birth.
Under the strict supervision of community midwife Mrs Tattershall, Linda’s gruellingly long days were spent on overcrowded wards pinning Terry nappies, making up bottles and sterilizing bedpans – and above all helping women in need. Her life was a succession of emergencies, successes and tragedies: a never-ending chain of actions which made all the difference between life and death.
There was Mrs Petty who gave birth in heartbreaking poverty; Mrs Drew who confided to Linda that the triplets she was carrying were not in fact her husband’s; and Muriel Turner, whose dangerously premature baby boy survived – against all the odds. Forty years later Linda’s passion for midwifery burns as bright as ever as she is now celebrated as one of Britain’s longest-serving midwives, still holding the lives of mothers and children in her own two hands.
Rich in period detail and told with a good dose of Manchester humour, The Midwife’s Here! is the extraordinary, heartwarming tale of a truly inspiring woman.
