Summary Annotation <p>This sixth volume in the <i>Collected Works of Florence Nightingale</i>reports Nightingale&#8217;s considerable accomplishments in the development of a public health care system based on health promotion and disease prevention. It follows directly from her understanding of social science and broader social reform activities, which were related in <i>Society and Politics</i>(Volume 5). <i>Public Health Care</i>includes a critical edition of <i>Notes on Nursing for the Labouring Classes</i>, papers on mortality in aboriginal schools and hospitals, and on rural health. It reports much unknown material on Nightingale&#8217;s signal contribution of bringing professional nursing into the dreaded workhouse infirmaries. This collection presents letters and notes on a wide range of issues from specific diseases to germ theory, and relates some of her own extensive work as a nurse practitioner, which included organizing referrals to doctors and providing related care.</p><p>Currently, Volumes 1 to 11 are available in e-book version by subscription or from university and college libraries through the following vendors: Canadian Electronic Library, Ebrary, MyiLibrary, and Netlibrary.</p>
