"Such a calming and reassuring presence"

Whilst pregnant, I attended various antenatal clinic appointments with both midwives and consultants post scan. Whilst all of the staff were helpful, on 2 occasions myself and my partner had appointments with department manager, Bianca. 

As a first time pregnant mum, I was extremely anxious and had loads of questions, particularly as my baby was presenting as huge! In our final 36-week appointment, Bianca was friendly, approachable and had such a calming and reassuring presence which helped me and my partner feel at ease and informed about our next steps.

If the remainder of the department is ran the way Bianca approaches her role, then I can only imagine it’s a stellar department. She certainly leads by example and is a true testament to the midwifery department in Forth Valley Royal Hospital.
