What our staff say
Hear about some of our people’s journeys and experiences.
“I’ve wanted to be a midwife since I was young. I picked all health and science courses at school to help steer me towards this career. I went on to get a job as a maternity support worker to get a better insight into the role of a midwife here at Chelsea and Westminster. I then got into one of the best teaching schools for midwifery.
“The team at Chelsea and Westminster are so supportive and were here to help midwives in their journey to develop their skills and become confident practitioners.
Nusi, Midwife
“I trained overseas in India, and I have been in the neonatal field for more than 11 years. I joined West Middlesex in 2016 as a healthcare assistant and worked my way to staff nurse. I have loved every single day of my job and feel privileged to care for babies from their first day of life.
“Unlike paediatrics and adults, babies cannot convey their feelings in words, and I feel proud to be their voice with keen observation and understanding of their needs. It is indeed a pleasure to be an advocate for them.
“For me, this is a most rewarding job and, at West Middlesex, we have an excellent team who help and support each other to excel in the profession.”
Joby, Staff Nurse, SCBU
