Tending by El Blackwood
There are 400,000 nurses in the UK. This is their story.
A heartbreaking, hilarious and very human look at the experience of the nurses on the frontline of our health service.
Based on over 70 interviews with nurses of all ages, backgrounds and nationalities, Tending immerses you in their day-to-day lives. It asks an essential question: when the system’s under pressure and lives are on the line, who takes time to care for the carers?
