Delighted to announce the publication of Intellectual Disability Nursing: An Oral History Project, co-authored by members of the Intellectual Disability Nursing Team (Adjunct Professor Dr Colin Griffiths, Assistant Professors Paul Keenan, Dr. Sandra Fleming, Dr. Carmel Doyle and Michelle Cleary, Muiriosa Foundation) and their UK nursing colleagues published by Emerald Publishing Limited (ISBN 9781839821554).
Using the oral history research approach this unique monograph explores the careers of 31 nurses from Ireland and the UK who each had 30 years or more experiences of working in residential services for people with intellectual disabilities. As the large institutions are replaced by smaller living environments for people with intellectual disability fewer nurses will experience what it was like for a person with an intellectual disability to live in a large institution or as a nurse working in such a setting and so the stories of these nurses, which are digitally recorded and archived in the Royal College of Nursing, have been until now untold. These stories not only reflect the vast health and social care changes that have taken place in intellectual disability services since the 20th Century but also articulate the commitment, kindness, and dedication of the nurses towards the person with an intellectual disability.
