It's the little things
When experienced midwife Agnes鈥 third baby is delivered, she鈥檚 confronted by a profound need for systemic change 鈥 and makes it happen.
Agnes Nisbett is a nurse and midwife whose own hospital experience in the 1970s revealed just how flawed and uncaring the system could be. Agnes came to the UK from St Kitts and Nevis as part of the Windrush generation. Her goal was to achieve as much as she could in her profession and despite the many barriers, 鈥渟heer hard work鈥 got her to the top. Now in her eighties and looking back on her time in the NHS, she shares how her own private and personal loss inspired her to challenge and change things for others.
This interview discusses the experience of stillbirth. Details of help and support with pregnancy-related issues are available through the 大象传媒 Action Line at bbc.co.uk/actionline.
