Midwife Josephine Lane has won a national award for her 'outstanding' contribution to perinatal mental health care.
Jersey midwife, Josephine Lane, has picked up the prize from the Royal College of Midwives (RCM) at a ceremony in London.
The award recognises her work in transforming how maternity services support women’s emotional wellbeing during pregnancy and after birth, helping ensure that women feel heard, supported and safe.
Her colleagues describe her as 'the glue that holds services together.'
Gill Walton, Chief Executive of the RCM, said: “A key part of Josephine’s work has been tackling stigma and making it normal to talk about mental health in maternity care.
"By building conversations about emotional wellbeing into routine appointments and touchpoints, Josephine has helped more women feel able to speak up early – and access the right support sooner.
“Her work is a powerful example of compassionate, woman-centred care in action."
