My husband and I would like to write to feedback with high praise on the quality of care we received from staff during the birth of our daughter … The c section team were fantastic and put us at ease while clearly been completely on top of their jobs. I particularly found our anaesthetist very supportive during a stressful moment in the procedure. – Patient Feedback |  |

All the midwives and the students were very professional, caring and supported [my wife] fantastically throughout her four day stay. I can’t remember names, but the midwife in the maternity ward prior to delivery was lovely and she came up to see us at the end of her shift to congratulate us on our baby and wish us well. The midwife who delivered our baby on the labour ward was wonderful too, and the swiftness that all the other midwives appeared at the end of the birth to assist showed great care and preparation. – Patient Feedback | |

I have worked at St Peter’s for three years. I started as a maternity support worker in the community at Ashford and now the Trust is supporting me in my apprenticeship as a student midwife. I love my job, I love the people I work with, and I feel like if I needed to speak to anyone, there is always someone I can go to who will support me. There are always people around me that I can approach at any point if I need to. – Naomi Day, Apprentice Midwife | |

… When I joined they were welcoming – I love the culture here. Everyone is supportive of your practice and works well as a team across the whole unit. I joined because I liked the look of the preceptorship programme, which is rotational and builds skills quicker, make you more diverse and helped me to become a well-rounded and confident midwife. I feel my skills have developed as a result and I am able to deliver really good holistic care. I love working with my colleague in the different areas. – Livi Hodges-Long, Rotational Midwife | |

I have been working in community for almost nine years now. I really enjoy me role as a community midwife, and I enjoy building relationships with women based around support and mutual trust and respect. I am very fortunate to provide good continuity to my women throughout their pregnancy until they have their babies. I enjoy spending time with students, and I feel I really help them on their journey to becoming a midwife, helping them to develop their clinical skills and confidence. – Sheena Sinclair-Brown, Community Midwife | |

I am a Band 5 rotational midwife. I rotate through the unit every four week. It is a fantastic way to achieve my preceptorship as it means I am experiencing all aspects of maternity care from booking all the way through pregnancy to birth and then postnatally. The team at St Peter’s are really supportive! I decided to work here because they have a really inclusive and exciting team, moving towards more continuity. Having a Level 3 Neonatal Unit onsite means that we get a variety of gestations at delivery and complex pregnancies too. It is a really lovely team to work for. – Krystyna Nowobilska-Dean, Preceptorship Midwife | |
