' A heart-breaking story of courage and compassion from the front line of the toughest battle our nurses have had to fight. Anthea Allen' s writing is raw, honest and full of love for those she cares for. ' Susanna Reid An extraordinarily powerful memoir based on the diaries of intensive care nurse Anthea Allen, who worked on the front line of one of the largest hospitals in Europe - St. George' s in South London - during the peak of the Covid crisis. Her gripping and incredibly moving recollections have been feted by a great range of people, from Piers Morgan and Susanna Reid on Good Morning Britain to Richard Branson and the Queen' s apothecary, as well as being excerpted in the Daily Mail. What started as a weekend email to friends and family to process the reality of life during Covid quickly won her a growing army of support. Anthea has a rare gift of communicating the unique camaraderie of the NHS, the private tragedies of families, and the struggles which she has faced holding her personal and professional life together. Beyond politics, charts and statistics, Anthea - a natural and truly eloquent diarist - tells the stories of real people, real lives and real hopes and fears in an extraordinary time none of us will ever forget.
As a child Anthea Allen dreamt of becoming a nurse. She began her nurse training in 1991, and five years later joined the team on ICU at St George' s Hospital in Tooting, southwest London, where she still works as a Senior Sister. She is also responsible for recruiting nurses for the hospital' s adult Critical Care units. Anthea is a marathon runner and lives in London with her partner, their two children and three cats. Life, Death and Biscuits is her first book.
