Where Angels Fear to Tread – Author Talk
June 12 @ 6:00 pm – 7:30 pm
Hear Sylvia Rapley-Anderson in conversation about her book ‘Where Angels Fear to Tread’.
About the book
In 1973, a small group of parents and health professionals set out to overturn the inhumane and rigid treatment children received in hospitals around the country.
To do this, they formed the Association for the Welfare of Children in Hospital (AWCH), and their vision was to put the welfare of the child at the centre of every decision that was made about them.
Sylvia was one of the founders of AWCH.
This is her story of those three years that transformed children’s hospital care forever.
Sylvia is an ex Bathurst Local, having lived and worked in the region in the 1970s. Copies of the book will be available to purchase on the night.
Bookings are essential to secure a seat. Call 6333 6281.
