Health
Care as it is practised: in clinics, in homes, and in the gaps between the two.
Dispatch
Night shift at the clinic

The home visit
A home-care nurse in Brackwell drives to eleven patients a day. Her employer pays her for the time spent inside each home and nothing for the time spent getting there.

CareLine, Brackwell's after-hours health triage number, fields more than four thousand calls a month with six nurses covering three rotating shifts.
