Caregiver of the Month

Monique Abel: March 2023

Nominated by a patient on St Mary Ward

“I had the most amazing midwife, Monique! She was so kind, caring, understanding and just an absolutely lovely person. Our baby was taken to the nursery pretty much straight after birth and this was stressful for me. After Monique accompanied my bub and Hubby to the nursery with the paediatrician, she quickly came back to make sure I was ok and helped me understand what was happening. I was so grateful, and appreciated her explaining things to me so I felt cared for and looked after. I was so happy when Monique was in St Mary's ward the next day and came to say goodbye before we left, as she wasn't rostered on the next day we were leaving. Monique made a pretty traumatic experience a lot more manageable. I had a great experience with all of the midwives, our paediatrician and my Obstetrician and highly recommend St John's Murdoch - Thanks so much.”
