UEA Live celebrates 50 years of the Creative Writing department – this week’s instalment was Christie Watson’s brilliant talk. The Courage to Care: A Call for Compassion, her most recent work, is the second of her published memoirs her emotional hardships and personal relationships with patients have been passionately expressed on the page. In a conversation with UEA’s Pro-Vice-Chancellor, Fiona Lettice, Professor Christie Watson opened up about her impressively extensive career, as a paediatric nurse for 20 years, and later as a writer and teacher. From Claps for Carers to controversially low pay rises, the animated discourse surrounding the NHS only shows how important it is to hear the voices of its under-represented staff.
