The Ards peninsula is one of the most beautiful regions of Northern Ireland. It鈥檚 a traditional Ulster-Scots heartland rich in heritage, culture and language, where generations of families have deep-rooted links to land and sea.

In this series, we follow a small team of district and community nurses caring for local people all over the peninsula, enabling them to stay at home, in familiar surroundings, with friends and family nearby. For many of their patients, the comfort and company the nurses provide is as important as the medical care they offer, and the trusted relationships they build are invaluable.

Portaferry patient Kirsty is undergoing chemotherapy. To reduce the number of hospital trips, and minimise the risk of infection, nurse Tanya comes to Kirsty鈥檚 home to take blood samples and check on her well-being.

Meanwhile nurse Gemma is keeping a watchful eye on Rea, an elderly patient who lives with his wife Ruth in a residential home with stunning coastal views. Ruth has dementia while Rea has diabetes, and Gemma鈥檚 company and companionship are a great tonic.
