Nurse and midwife Prue Wheelwright has worked in the most remote parts of Australia and around the world. In isolated, far-flung locations and on dangerous frontlines, this passionate and dedicated nurse has put her heart, and often her safety, on the line, day after day, year after year.

Prue shares all the challenges, the joys and the heartbreaks in her life as a travelling nurse, from working in outback Australia to developing a paediatric HIV project in Tajikistan, setting up a 24-hour maternity hospital in an Ethiopian refugee camp and working with the Saudi royal family. Most recently she has joined the Royal Flying Doctor Service, combining her love of travel, adventure and healthcare.

In her work Prue has witnessed the extremes of humanity: the extraordinary highs and devastating lows. A highly skilled nurse with a huge heart, Prue will inspire you and move you with her tales of life at its most raw and real.

Brought up on a rural property in NSW, Prue Wheelwright has been a qualified nurse since 2009 and a midwife since 2012. In Australia she has worked in Sydney, Alice Springs and remote Indigenous communities; and internationally in the United Kingdom, Saudi Arabia and with Médecins sans Frontières (MSF) in Tajikistan and Ethiopia, combining her nursing and midwifery skills. She has travelled extensively in over 70 countries and while her home base is in Crookwell in NSW, she has recently trained in emergency care nursing and joined the Royal Flying Doctor Service, based in Alice Springs. This is her first book.
