Nurse Lisa enjoys a day off with a trip to a farm shop in Kircubbin. The shop was set up by farmer Davy Kerr during lockdown to ensure the local community had easy access to fresh fruit and vegetables, and has become a popular meeting spot and a place where Ulster-Scots is widely spoken by many of the customers. Davy鈥檚 late mother was a community nurse, giving him a genuine appreciation of the work done by Lisa and her colleagues.

Lisa explains that palliative care is an important part of community nursing and that it can take years to build up relationships with patients who will eventually need this specialist type of nursing care.

Tanya is in Portaferry for an early morning call with TC, an elderly resident who is a popular figure in the local community. Jenny has been invited to talk to the P1 class at Portavogie Primary School about her work as a district nurse. Meanwhile, Gemma is on a mission to make sure that Donaghadee woman Phyllis is well enough to attend the forthcoming wedding of her best friend Doris鈥檚 daughter.
