Celebrating International Day of the Midwife at PHT

Date: 11 May 2020

On 5 May 2020, we along with other Trusts across the country came together to celebrate International Day of the Midwife. As part of the celebrations, we asked some of our midwifery colleagues, as well as our Chief Nurse Liz Rix, about why they are proud of the team.

Helen Bland, Director of Midwifery at Portsmouth Hospitals, said: “Midwives play such an important part in a woman’s journey throughout their pregnancy and beyond. Over the last month, midwives have been particularly challenged in how they provide this care due to Covid-19. The care, support and guidance a midwife gives has never been more important than now, to ensure that all women and their families have a positive and safe experience of pregnancy, birth and early parenting. On International Day of the Midwife I’d just like to say how very proud I am of the midwives at Portsmouth Hospital, and throughout the world, for all the passion, hard work and dedication that they show on a daily basis.”
