That's the thing about Casualty - one minute you were trying desperately to save
someone's life, the next you were trying to stop a simple nosebleed. Since training
to be a nurse in the 1960s and with an NHS career spanning over forty years, Joan
Woodcock has seen it all. Working on hospital wards and in prisons and police units,
Joan quickly learned to keep a cool head whatever the situation. Here she recounts
the highs and lows of her time in the casualty unit. Taking place over twenty-four
hours one New Year's Eve, Matron on Call shows what really goes on behind the scenes
in Accident and Emergency. Joan deals with every manner of injury: from broken limbs,
horrific road accidents and fatal heart attacks to drunken patients jumping the queue,
ingrown toenails and earache, Joan shares her memories and tales. Funny, poignant
and compelling, this is a heartwarming portrait of a dedicated professional.

Wayne wants to share his inspirational story to arouse the giant that sleeps in all
of us! His message is simple: absolute self-belief and the desire to succeed are
the most important ingredients for achieving what you want in life. In 2004 Wayne
was about to retire from the Lancashire Constabulary after 30 years service and considered
himself an ordinary bloke who wanted to mark the event by achieving something extraordinary.
He decided to cycle solo the 2256 miles of the Year 2000 Tour De France route in
aid of a local cancer charity. Wayne’s Tour is the story of the highs and lows of
his amazing journey. £1 from every book goes to the Rosemere Cancer Foundation.
