Marks International Day of the Midwife
The Island's midwifery team is inviting women who've given birth on the Island to a special celebration later this week.
The event on the 22 May is in lieu of International Day of the Midwife, which is marked on 5 May each year.
All ages are welcome to attend between 2pm and 4pm at Keyll Darree on the Noble's Hospital site, to learn about the Island's maternity service over the last 100 years.
Light refreshments will be provided.
The team will also bury a time capsule containing photographs along with statistics from April 2024 and other documents including pay structures, charts and descriptions of job roles.
It's intended it be dug up in 2044.
The pod will buried in the outdoor quadrant that is overlooked by the Maternity Ward at Noble’s Hospital and marked by Sammie Stork – a decoration that has been fondly part of the Jane Crookall Maternity Department team since its original establishment.
