Australian College of Midwives – NSW Branch Midwife of the Year 2010

Once again the Australian College of Midwives – NSW Branch Inc is calling for nominations for NSW Midwife of the Year. This is a very special award for midwives as it enables midwives to nominate midwives whom they feel have contributed to and enhanced the profession of midwifery. It is a wonderful opportunity to put forward a midwife who may not be as prominent as others but is helping midwifery in a special way. This may be at a local level or further a field.
Our sponsors Huggies are again assuring a fabulous prize.
