This unique monograph, based on empirical research, used the oral
history approach to explore the careers of 31 intellectual
disability nurses from England and the Republic of Ireland; each
with at least 30 years' experience. We sought to understand motives
for such long service to nursing practice. Some had worked in the
intellectual disability hospitals of the 19th and 20th Centuries.
In both jurisdictions these have almost closed and been replaced
with smaller living configurations; subsequently few such nurses
have experience of these institutions. This makes it important to
hear their stories, which were digitally recorded; now forming a
unique collection in the Royal College of Nursing's archives. These
oral histories when synthesised with prevailing discourse of
intellectual disability nursing from literature, and research put
into perspective contemporary nursing workforce challenges faced by
these nurses in both jurisdictions. Their stories are testament,
amongst other things, to a strong 'sense of justice... doing the
right thing and making a difference'. Some reported a 'very early
interest in working with people with intellectual disabilities'.
And at 'journey's end' sadly, almost universally, they reported a
sense of being 'undervalued'. Their narratives articulate enormous
health and social care change witnessed over three decades or more.
But above all else they give voice to commitment, dedication, and
kindness to a vulnerable, and often marginalised people, those with
intellectual disabilities, as such it gives voice to otherwise
'Untold Stories'.
