Sister Joan Livesey

Joan Livesey is a civilian nurse at the field hospital.

Character Outline
As a reservist from Liverpool, Joan is not tied by the strict military traditions that govern Matron Grace Carter and Sister Margaret Qualye She is a modern woman and a breath of fresh air – capable, approachable and always on an even keel. She’s entirely about caring for her patients; protocols don’t interest her and she’ll sweep them aside if necessary.

The front line might seem just the right place for such modernity to break through but Joan’s views will cause friction between her and Margaret.
