Delivering Change

When experienced midwife Agnes鈥 third baby is delivered, she is confronted by a profound need for systemic change 鈥 and makes it happen.

When nurse and midwife Agnes Nisbett鈥檚 third baby was delivered, she was confronted by a profound need for systemic change. Agnes came to the UK as part of the Windrush generation and despite many barriers, 鈥渟heer hard work鈥 got her to the top of her profession. However, her own hospital experience in the 1970s revealed just how flawed and uncaring the system could be.

Now in her 80s, Agnes looks back on her time in the NHS, and shares with Dr Sian Williams how her personal loss inspired her to challenge and change things for others.
