Synopsis
The District Nurse documents the daily work of two community nurses serving a rural district in East Sussex, following their rounds across farms, villages, and isolated homes. The film records home-based medical care, patient instruction, emergency response, and maternal health services, situating nursing practice within the rhythms of rural life. Produced in the early years of Britain’s National Health Service, the film presents community healthcare as a foundational element of postwar social welfare and public service.
