Nursing staff throughout the world have endured an unprecedented
increase in distress, anxiety and depression. Physical and mental
health have come under attack from anxiety, depression, elevated
blood pressure and increased stress hormone production. More than
ever, the importance and urgency of initiatives which promote
nurses' and midwives' wellbeing should be emphasised. Pocket
Poetry: Poems for Nurses and Midwives is a companion of poems
intended to provide encouragement and consolation to those on the
frontline of our care sector. The poems themselves explore the
meaning of nursing, midwifery and compassion in order to promote
new nurses' and midwives' self-care and wellbeing. The poems in
this selection demonstrate the empathy and benevolence crucial to
the profession, and include works on the relationship between nurse
and patient, as well as the meaning and fulfilment of nursing for
those who have chosen that career.

Being a doctor is a privilege; it is also very demanding and can be
stressful, and to be able to look after others, we need to look
after ourselves. We offer you this little book of poetry, Tools of
the Trade, as a friend to provide inspiration, comfort and support
as you begin work. Tools of the Trade includes poems by
poet-doctors Iain Bamforth, Rafael Campo, Glenn Colquhoun, Martin
MacIntryre and Gael Turnbull.
Collecting these excerpts from Wallace Chambers' Vancouver diary
and World War I letters has been a labour of love for author John
Gillis. The result is an extraordinary record of one ordinary young
man's life just after the turn of the century. Wallace Chambers
kept a diary from 1907 to 1913 while he lived in Vancouver. He
filled each day with as much as he could, especially outdoors
activities. Wallace was also passionate about cultural and social
activities and enjoyed many of the events and venues Vancouver
offered. His diary gives a rare glimpse into the world of
middle-class young people in Vancouver of the early 1900s. Over the
years a tender love story unfolded in Wallace's diary as he
gradually fell in love with Cecie, the woman he hadn't seen since
1905. When Wallace went off to war in 1914, he and Cecie were
briefly reunited in England before he left for the front. His
letters home were graphic and poignant. Wallace was killed in 1915
at the age of 29.
