This event explores new research by speakers Christine Hallett, Olivia Gordon and Amanda Gwinnup at the University of Huddersfield, exploring the image of the nurse as military heroine and self-sacrificing angel. Yet, the calm, cool and courageous image of the early-twentieth-century nurse belied the pressure she was under, and many nurses became severely traumatised as a result of their wartime experiences.

These talks explore not only the mirage of safety and control presented by nurses, but also the toll this mask of resilience took upon them. Beyond this, it will examine the extent to which nurses were enabled to recover from the trauma they experienced, and what we can learn from this regarding the impact of the 2020 COVID-19 Pandemic.

This event took place online on 11 August 2020.
