Miriam has recently shown shown great professionalism, empathy and care helping a patient who was a victim of domestic abuse. As a result, this case has now been flagged by the police and relevant authorities ensuring the safety and wellbeing of the patient.

Miriam’s tenacity, dedication and professionalism has made an important and significant difference to the care that this pregnant lady will receive.  This has undoubtedly improved the outcome for her and her unborn child.  Like many other areas within the NHS, Midwifery has faced staff shortages the impact of which has been compounded by the current Pandemic.  In spite of reduced resources and increased pressures, Miriam has gone above and beyond to locate a vulnerable person who was at significant risk.
