A Longford midwife has received a national award recognising her achievement in the field of maternity and midwifery at the All-Ireland Maternity and Midwifery Festival Trailblazer Awards 2024.
The Maternity and Midwifery Forum’s All-Ireland Festival took place at the Helix, Dublin in mid April.
As part of the event the Forum hosted the All Ireland Maternity and Midwifery Trailblazer Awards Ceremony. These Awards recognise outstanding achievement and commitment to maternity and midwifery services over the past year across the island of Ireland.
Longford woman Michelle Carberry-Walsh, who is the Clinical Midwife Manager 2, of the Parent Education department, of Regional Hospital Mullingar's Maternity Department, was recognised with a Midwifery Practice Leader Trailblazer Award.
The citation read: “Michelle is an experienced midwife, currently also studying for a Masters by research at UCD looking at the impact of education on parental confidence particularly in relation to high crying infants.
“She works closely in the multidisciplinary team and is recognised for her endeavours to ensure positive experiences and improve outcomes for expectant parents attending Regional Hospital Mullingar, always striving to provide evidence based education for every woman and family she meets and goes that extra mile providing one to one education for those who need it. “This included adapting the provision to an online platform during the COVID-19 pandemic. Michelle is a true midwifery leader and is very deserving of the award.”
Michelle was one of seven midwives recognised for their outstanding achievement and commitment to maternity and midwifery services over the past year across the island of Ireland.
