LISMORE MIDWIVES RECOGNISED FOR BRAVERY DURING SCAFFOLDING COLLAPSE

Two Lismore midwives have been commended for their bravery after sheltering patients from falling debris at the Base Hospital in 2015.

Leanne Chamberlain and Mary-Ann Hyde threw themselves across mums and their newborn babies after a storm hit the city – with scaffolding collapsing onto the maternity building.

The pair were nominated for the award by the Nurses and Midwives Association.
