Call the Nurse
Tired of the pace and noise of life near London and longing for a better place to raise their young children, Mary J. MacLeod and her husband encountered their dream while vacationing on a remote island in the Scottish Hebrides. Enthralled by its windswept beauty, they soon were the proud owners of a near-derelict croft house—a farmer’s stone cottage—on “a small acre” of land. Mary assumed duties as the island’s district nurse. Call the Nurse is her account of the enchanted years she and her family spent there, coming to know its folk as both patients and friends. In anecdotes that are by turns funny, sad, moving, and tragic, she recalls them all, the crofters and their laird, th...
The Island Nurse
Life on the remote island of Papavray in the 1970s was a world away from Mary J. MacLeod’s urban existence in the south of England. And this peaceful environment was just what she was looking for. While indoor toilets were still something of a luxury, and ‘teleeffissions’ could produce terror in some of the older residents, the glory of the mountains and the sea combined with the warmth of the island people meant she had found a haven for her family. Mary’s post as district nurse gave her a unique insight into island life, and her stories of the troubles, joys, drama and comedies endured by her patients make this a charming and humorous account of community life on a small island in a bygone era.

Summary of Mary J. MacLeod's Call the Nurse
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I was the district nurse on Papavray, a remote Hebridean island about 20 miles long. The island was beautiful in its wild, rugged way. I climbed up to the croft house above and knocked on the door. Mary-Ann welcomed me warmly, and I took off my sodden coat, hat, and gloves. #2 The island was a different kind of childhood for my two sons. They were five years apart, and they became great friends. They helped the shepherds with the shearing, watched calves being born, and listened to crofters’ tales. #3 I had kept a chronological record of our lives before and since our arrival on Papavray, but I was not good at putting the results into albums. I began to arrange them onto the pages of an album, but inevitably I began to read them, remembering the events and people they depicted.

Reducing Inequalities
This book draws on new and existing research to shed light on how children's experiences, at home and in schools, explain the extent to which they succeed as children and later as adults. Analysis indicates that there remains a strong link between the socio-economic circumstances into which a child is born and their adult outcomes. Children from lower socio-economic groups, born in the year 2000, have shown signs of falling behind their more advantaged peers by the age of three. It examines the risk factors for poor outcomes and discusses the need for policy that works across family and school.
