Jen ( 38) who has been team leader at the Ante-natal Unit for the past two years says she is lucky to have such dedicated and professional colleagues. She explains; “Despite many challenges over recent months as a team we have worked hard to maintain the high standard of care that we pride ourselves on delivering for our mums to be. To be nominated by your colleagues is extra special.”

Karen James OBE, Trust Chief Executive who presented the award said Jen and colleagues like her epitomise all that is expected of a great team leader.“Jen is a highly qualified professional who has held a number of specialist maternity roles. She understands what’s required to motivate and support colleagues and as a result the service provided by our ante-natal team is second to none.”
