Fever nurses' perceptions of their fever nurse training 1921-1971.
This paper is based on evidence from 118 ex-fever nurses. The method used, postal questionnaires, is rarely mentioned by oral historians, yet it proved invaluable in such a scattered target population. It shows the importance of collecting evidence before it is too late. This study gave the respondents a welcome opportunity to recall, analyse and reflect on their fever nursing practice. It complements the previous paper, 'The rise and demise of fever nursing' and confirms its findings.
