hat is a health visitor and what did they do in the late 20th century?
A hard-working but frustrated woman determined to have a fulfilling career: in late autumn 1979 Sarah Reynolds is out of love with her work as a health visitor. She could enjoy the fruits of a successful marriage to a local business man, and stay at home with her young son. Yet she yearns to make a difference by supporting individuals and families through key events in their lives. The golden handcuffs of regular hours and a nursery place for her son hold her in the community rather than the hospital. Sarah’s drive and enthusiasm to find new ways of working puts her at odds with her frosty line manager.
Blurring fiction with fact, Cath Cole blends humour, sadness and sorrow to explore the role of health visitors in the late 1979s early 1980s.
