A MIDWIFE who spent more than 20 years helping pregnant ladies in Lochaber will be ‘sorely missed’ when she retires.
Staff at the Belford Midwifery Unit said farewell to colleague Roslyn Stewart last month (October) as she retired after 30 years as a midwife, 22 of those based in Lochaber. Ros started her nursing training in Aberdeen in 1980. In 1985 she began her midwifery training in Leeds. Prior to working in Lochaber, she spent six years working in the midwifery team based at Raigmore Hospital.
She said: ‘I’ve seen a lot of changes over the years where we’ve gone from a GP-led unit to a community midwifery unit and the integration of the teams which combined local births and community care.
