The diaries of a former nurse who used to work at St Helier Hospital over 40 years ago have been published by her family.

Two o'clock at the Gate was penned in 1960 from notes that Doreen Peacock had taken throughout her nursing training in the 1950s.

Sadly Doreen died in 2005 never having seen her book published but thanks to her persistent family and advances in technology, the book is now available on-line.

Doreen's son Jonathan, who now lives in Newcastle upon Tyne, said she would have been proud: "The 1950s were a very important period in my mother's life - she entered the profession she always wanted to do and went on to love."

Jonathan added: "We are delighted to get the book published and we are only sad that my mother did not see it whilst she was still alive. We know this is what she would have wanted and we are tremendously proud of her for the amount of detail she noted."

The book takes readers on a journey through all of Doreen's experiences while training at St Helier Hospital. With detailed descriptions of every aspect of her training, from patient experiences and fun and games with other nurses through to her final exams, the book paints a picture of her life during this time as well as the hospital.

The book is available to buy online at www.trafford.com
