Celebrating our nurses and midwives
To celebrate the International Year of the Nurse and Midwife 2020, we asked our nurses and midwives to share their stories.
Find out why our nurses and midwives chose their careers and what inspired them to help others.
Dr Alison Callwood became a midwife to make a difference to the lives of vulnerable women and children, after volunteering in a home set up by Mother Theresa.
Jackie became an adult nurse to make a difference to the lives of her patients and improve the delivery of care across the sector, influencing policy change.
Laurence became a mental health nurse to help people with their mental health needs, in particular men, who may struggle to acknowledge their feelings.
