Abstract

This chapter is an empirical case study based on Elizabeth Peter’s original empirical work that showcases contemporary geographies related to professional practice. It presents an analysis of published policy, and institutional, legal and media statements relating to a case where a nurse was found to be an extreme danger to health and life in long-term care. The idea of the chapter is to think about how trust in ethical nursing work, and the places of nursing work, is represented. In particular, attention is paid to the involvement of different scales in work, its regulation and its representation (international, national, city and setting), and how each is used/implicated.
