Earlier this week, midwives across the Mackay and Whitsunday regions were recognised for their outstanding contributions to maternal and newborn care during International Day of the Midwife celebrations.
At Mackay Base Hospital, three midwives were presented with awards acknowledging excellence in care, leadership and emerging practice:
Emerging Midwife Award (Postgraduate): Amber Moyle, registered midwife, Women’s Health Unit, Mackay Base Hospital.
Exceptional Midwifery Care Provider Award (consumer-nominated): Danielle Sorbello, clinical nurse midwife, Women’s Health Unit, Mackay Base Hospital.
Outstanding Nursing and Midwifery Leadership Award: Jessie Twivey, nurse educator, Women’s Health Unit, Mackay Base Hospital.
At Proserpine Hospital, the Isabelle Morris Memorial Award was also presented in honour of the late midwife who served the region for more than 30 years. This year’s recipient was Kirsty Dolphin, a registered midwife recognised for her commitment to women’s health in the Whitsundays.
The awards highlighted the dedication, compassion and clinical skill shown by midwives working across the region’s public health services.
