Stephanie Machin

I had worked as a support worker in Jessop Wing for 10 years before I applied for the apprenticeship.

I felt ready to do more in my role and learn some new skills. The programme was stressful at times but support was always there from the tutors and assessors. I feel I have proved myself by taking this step and might consider further studying in future.

The knowledge and skills I have acquired help me every day to be a valuable member of the maternity team. I am also looking forward to learning more skills such as cannulation.
