Irish Nurses In The UK - An Oral History

You're warmly invited to the Brian Boru Irish Club for the Wigan launch of the deeply moving and long-overdue book:
Irish Nurses in the UK: An Oral History by Louise Ryan PhD, Gráinne McPolin, and Neha Doshi PhD

Doors open at 6:30pm
Live online webinar with the authors begins at 7:00pm, followed by an audience Q&A

From the early days of the NHS, Irish nurses have been at the heart of British healthcare. This remarkable book captures their stories — in their own words — through 45 powerful interviews and rare photographs. It honours not only their professional dedication, but their social and cultural experiences as Irish migrants.

We want this to be a collaborative, community-focused event.
If you or a loved one worked in the NHS - especially as an Irish nurse - we invite you to bring along photos, artefacts, uniforms, or memorabilia to share during an open discussion. Help us celebrate and preserve this incredible legacy together.
