After receiving wonderful care from an incredible #rbwh midwife for the birth of both her daughters, Georgina felt inspired to make a career change.
Eight years on, Georgina celebrates the #YearoftheNurseandMidwife as a clinical midwife at #redcliffe Hospital. 🎉
Thanks everyone for the kind messages. I wouldn’t be here today without the care I received at the birth centre and my midwife Debbie.
