By:

Ten regional finalists, Mums, babies and guests had been invited to attend the award ceremony where the mother who has nominated the Midwife of the Year will receive £1000 and a further £1000 top up for their child’s trust fund generously donated by the Royal Bank of Scotland. The Midwife of the Year will also receive £1000 for herself and a further £1000 for her Midwifery Unit.
This year witnessed celebrity sports star and England Rugby ace Ben Cohen give up his position at the World Cup to stay at home for the recent arrival of his twin daughters and to honour not only his own midwife Julia Bennett but to also award the trophy to the finalist of the 2007 awards. The host for the event was regional TV and radio presenter and president of the Leeds NSPCC, Jon Hammond. Jon had the unexpected honour of receiving a charity cheque donation for £6,000.00 for the NSPCC from Mamas & Papas as part of the brand’s charity commitment through the profits made from the sale of the retail catalogue.
The winner of this year’s award demonstrated exception qualities as a midwife not just this year but for many years previous where she has been nominated as a regional finalist. Midwife Sandra Bosman from The Royal Victoria Infirmary in Newcastle is a highly skilled midwife for the regional who specialises in multiple births. Her nominating mother for whom she helped delivery quadruplets said,
“We will tell our children as they grow not only how she made a positive impact on our lives but how she will no doubt have a positive impact on others in the future. “
Lorna Bird, 2006’s Midwife of the Year winner from Southampton and who was central to the judging process said,
“This midwife is truly inspirational, her devotion and commitment to her multiple birth families is outstanding. Every day she goes the extra mile without a second thought and her charity work is just a further sign of her dedication.“
A surprised but delighted winner, Sandra Bosman commented on receiving the award what it being a midwife means to her,
“As I deal with a lot of women who require IVF treatment, childbirth is a long hard journey and I am blessed to be able to help them. I love the women I care for and birth is a wonderful gift. “
