The District Nurse

on BBC Radio 4 FM

1/2. A look at the work of a team of nurses in inner-city
Birmingham as they care forfrail, sick and dying patients in their homes. A 65-year-old terminally ill cancer patient has asked to be discharged from his hospice because he wants to die at home. The nurses' task is to make the last few weeks of his life as comfortable as possible, but this means administering powerful pain-killing drugs - a problem since the Harold Shipman case. Producer Brian King
