Working outside the box - an unlikely partnership

Abstract

I have worked in the NHS since 1962 and after a 42 year career in nursing and midwifery, I recently left my midwifery manager's office for the last time. In my mind I dreamed of a slower pace of life but this has not materialized. I have been, almost by accident, gradually drawn into a different way of working – from home. But my resolve to improve the health of of women and babies is unchanged.
