A retiring midwife has finished her career by delivering her colleague's baby
A retiring midwife has finished her career by delivering her colleague's baby. Marie Whelan spent 34-years working as an NHS midwife and helping thousands of babies into the world.
Robyn, who works as a midwife at the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow, said: "I had several placements at the Vale of Leven when I was training, and Marie was always there for support. Marie, from Dumbarton, leads a team of 14 midwives, three health care support workers and two gynaecology nurses at the Vale, and has delivered hundreds of babies over the years. Marie, who started working at Vale in 1982 as auxiliary, said: "It has changed over the years. It used to be a consultants-led unit until 2004 when it became a Community Maternity Unit.
"At home they can feel more at ease in their own surroundings, but you still have a midwife on hand."
