The number one Sunday Times bestseller.
Twas the Nightshift Before Christmas is a short gift book of festive diaries from the author of multi-million-copy bestseller This is Going to Hurt.
Christmas is coming, the goose is getting fat . . . but 1.4 million NHS staff are heading off to work.

This is a love letter to all those who spend their festive season on the front line, removing babies and baubles from the various places they get stuck, at the most wonderful time of the year.
