An introduction to the new book by Earle Brown and Walter (Wally) Robins about Middlemore Hospital.

Nurses Heather Spinetto and Jocelyn Peach recall special Christmas memories and shared camaraderie on the ward, with staff working hard to create Christmas magic for their patients, including families and children. Throughout history celebrating Christmas has always been important for nurses and their patients, from nurses in capes and candles singing Christmas carols in years gone by, through to the wonderful decorations made by nurses today.
