Royal College of Midwifery Vision Award
Monday 21 May 2012
Rachel Yates has been awarded a Royal College of Midwifery Vision Award. Rachel wrote an excellent proposal for her planned elective trip to Sri Lanka and submitted a letter of support from her personal tutor Kath Lawton. On the basis of this, Rachel was short listed and won the award.
Rachel will be heading to Kandy in Sri Lanka on a placement, to learn about different ways of providing care for women and neonates. Rachel's plan is to discover how the environment and culture can impact midwifery and affect patient care throughout pregnancy and birth. Alongside this, Rachel has the opportunity to work in a northern village community learning about Ayurveda medicine, a 5000-year-old alternative therapy.
Further details of Rachel's award and placement, can be viewed on The Royal College of Midwives website.
