one better than last year<br />

Midwives win national award<br />
Staff from <strong>NUH</strong> have won one of the UK’s<br />
top midwifery prizes at the Royal College<br />
of Midwives’ (RCM) Annual Midwifery<br />
Awards.<br />
Midwives Josh Downey and Katie Jones<br />
picked up the RCM I-Folio Award for<br />
Partnership Working on behalf of the<br />
Trust. The award was given for improved<br />
team working in maternity services,<br />
through the introduction of Shared<br />
Governance.<br />
Shared Governance sees frontline<br />
midwives forming ‘councils’ with<br />
decision making powers about services.<br />
The councils work in collaboration<br />
with managers to help bring about<br />
improvements.<br />
He said: “Commercial research provides<br />
patients with access to many new drugs<br />
and treatments, which can achieve better<br />
clinical outcomes and potentially benefit<br />
all NHS patients in the future. It has been<br />
a real privilege to be involved in these lifechanging<br />
studies.”<br />
A further five researchers, based at <strong>NUH</strong><br />
and The University of Nottingham were<br />
also recognised at the event. They were<br />
Professor Philip Bath, Professor Stephen<br />
