I am really passionate about midwifery and have undertaken opportunities to share this with my fellow peers and healthcare professionals across the country &#8211; I hope this opportunity enables me to continue to do this and encourages other student midwives to do the same.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Katy has also participated in a range of fundraising events to raise awareness of charities that the women and families in her care access.
