The Iolanthe Midwifery Trust has announced the winners of the Iolanthe Awards 2022. The winners were announced to coincide with International Day of the Midwife.

Iolanthe Midwifery Trust Patron, Baroness Cumberlege, said: “I am invited to take on positions, particularly as Patron, of a number of charities. Several I refuse but Iolanthe is one I treasure and hold very dear because it provides such wonderful opportunities to those midwives who realise there is much more they can learn.

“The award winners bring a wonderful galaxy of different approaches to maternity and I congratulate everyone.”
