Duchess of Cambridge praises midwives roles in building parents’ confidence

The Duchess of Cambridge has written an open letter to midwives, praising their role in “building parents’ confidence” and “the future happiness of their children”.

Kate wrote the letter to mark the fact that next year is the International Year of the Nurse and Midwife.

Recognising what she describes as the “humbling work” that nurses carry out “day in, day out” she writes: “You are there for women at their most vulnerable; you witness strength, pain and unimaginable joy on a daily basis.”
