  • "I enjoyed it so much I stayed!"

    "I trained as a midwife at Newham Hospital 19 years ago and enjoyed it so much that I stayed! The experience that one gets whilst working at Newham Hosptial is that of belonging to a family. Midwifery practice here is fast paced but always woman/ birthing person focussed. Despite the challenges that arise, we always endeavour to let our actions be respectful, safe and inclusive."

    Jenise Jarvis, midwifery matron at Newham Hospital

  • "You never know what is coming through the door so it is different every day."

    Cheska, staff nurse, Newham Hospital A&E

    “I’m supported to be myself”

    “Working in the maternity team at Newham Hospital is great for lots of reasons. As a midwife, I have the opportunity to learn a lot while providing care to one of the most diverse communities in England. And as a person, I’m fully supported by my colleagues to be my true, authentic self. I’m very proud to work here.”

    Noah Bliss, midwife, Newham Hospital 

  • "I consider myself lucky and privileged to work with such a friendly unit which I call my second home."

    "Coming to the UK has been life changing for me. I have to admit it has not been an easy journey to adapt with the culture and environment, but looking back I would never change a thing. It has defined who am I now, and what I am really passionate about is caring for the patients and helping my other junior colleague grow to become the best critical care nurses."

    Angelica, intensive care nurse, Newham Hospital

  • "I love it because we are such a diverse group of people working in such a diverse community."

    "My interest started at 19 when I was a healthcare assistant. I went on to do nursing when I was 26 and did all my placements in A&E. Some of those placements were here at Newham and I just loved the fast pace and the way the team gelled, so I decided this was where I wanted to make my career. I have been here for 15 years now and I still love it."

    Shabana, staff nurse, Newham Hospital A&E
