Rachel Carter, Director of Midwifery
Rachel Carter, our Director of Midwifery, said it was a lot of rapid changes and pace for staff at times during the pandemic and team work has been phenomenal.
She said: "How the teams then came together to prioritize the women and each other was just phenomenal, something I've never seen before and that was across Maternity, Gynaecology, Theatres, Neonates, Specialties and also our colleagues in the Children's Hospital. When we put the flag up and said we need help, the help came and it came in all sorts of shapes and sizes."
Celebrating BWC Spirit
We are highlighting the amazing things our colleagues have done and achieved during the pandemic.
Our teams have bravely stood by the side of our patients, changed how they have worked to keep key and emergency services running and gone beyond the Trust to help colleagues in other parts of the NHS.
They have done so with an approach and spirit that is uniquely BWC and we want to celebrate that and what has been achieved.
From frontline clinical colleagues to our unseen and often unsung heroes in labs, offices and in our corridors - everyone has had a part to play and we’re sharing some of their stories over the next two weeks.
If you would like to thank individuals or teams either by sharing some kind words, pictures or a short video we would love to see them. You can submit your messages, pictures or videos by emailing bwc.communications@nhs.net
