Anita Marshall, Steward, Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust

Having been an RCM steward for almost 2 years and a midwife for 28 I have enjoyed the challenge of re-igniting activity within our local branch. Belly dancing is my latest hobby and I have been a vocalist in several bands over the years both writing and performing with music ranging from punk to Jazz. Prior to returning to practicing as a midwife in the UK I have worked in the Sudan, Saudi Arabia and Abu Dhabi and I am currently working as a Clinical Educator employed by The Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust. My previous roles include Community Midwifery, and Antenatal Screening Co-ordinator/Obstetric Counsellor. The main focus of my current role is to address clinical service needs in planning and delivering the current education and training agenda to medical and non-medical staff who work within the maternity services directorate.
