Irish Nurses in the NHS

Leaving home

Episode notes

In this first episode of the Irish Nurses in the NHS Podcast Series we meet 5 women who left their lives in Ireland to join the NHS. We hear about the challenges of becoming a nurse in Ireland which included a lack of training opportunities, the expense of such unpaid training and the nepotism that was common in Ireland at this time. We also hear about the journeys taken by these women and their first experiences on setting foot in the UK.
