We have the privilege of organising our own elective placement at the start of our third year. We have chosen to go to Nepal to gain an insight into how midwifery care is practised and accessed.

Amazing donation from an AMAZING organisation


We recently put a story about our trip to Nepal in our local papers. We were so excited for our few minutes of fame we didn't even consider the generosity we would find. We received a phone call from Chichester SANDS wanting to offer us help with our trip.

SANDS is a charity that supports anyone affected by the death of a baby and promotes research to reduce the loss of babies lives. As student midwives we have both met people involved in SANDS and the work they do is absolutely priceless. Endless hours of support through carelines, supplies and advice given for midwives and families and a huge support network for those who have sadly lost a baby.

Sue Taylor and Heather Brooks from Chichester SANDS wanted to offer the women of Nepal some support as well. They have sent us a cheque to give the birth centre £200!! This amount of money will greatly help in the promotion of safemotherhood and allow them to get supplies they so greatly need. We cannot begin to thank SANDS enough for this generosity. But Thank you so much!!
