This book takes a fresh look at community nursing history in Great
Britain, examining the essentially generalist and low profile,
domiciliary end of the professional nursing spectrum throughout the
twentieth century. It charts the most significant changes affecting
the nurse's work on the district including compulsory registration
for general nursing, changes in organization, training, conditions
of service, and workload. A strong oral history component provides
a unique insight into the professional images of district nursing
and the complexities of inter- and intra-professional relationships
as well as into the changing day-to-day working experiences of the
district nurse at 'grass-roots' level. Use of oral history and
records of individual nurses attempts to rectify the tendency of
nursing history to view nurses as if they were a homogenous group
of professionals, thereby recognizing the different experiences of
nurses in different regions and environments. The book also
considers the degree of influence of medically related technologies
and of developments in drugs, materials, communications, and
transport on the professional development of district nursing. The
work addresses issues of gender relationships central to a nursing
profession largely composed of women (throughout much of the
period) working alongside a largely male-dominated medical
profession.
