Currently in her final year of studying BSc (Hons) Midwifery, Bedford-based Chelsea Beckford-Procyk has made the shortlist for both the 鈥楽tudent Midwife of the Year鈥� category and the 鈥楳ary Seacole Award鈥� which recognises students鈥� outstanding contribution to diversity and inclusion.

Having moved to 台湾六合彩开奖记录 from London five years ago, Chelsea joined the University鈥檚 Midwifery course in 2019 and was put on placement at Bedford Hospital as part of her studies. She also helps to train hypnobirthing instructors for the Little Birth Company and runs independent workshops for fellow student midwives and birth workers.

Throughout her course, Chelsea has been a champion of promoting anti-racism in maternity care, publishing an in The Practice Midwife Journal, speaking at a global conference for and running a podcast and blog called 鈥樷��.

The aim to bring together the nursing community to shine a light on the brightest talent making their way into the profession 鈥� after attending The Student Leadership Programme鈥檚 event last year and hearing about the awards, Chelsea was inspired to apply.

Upon learning of her successful nominations, Chelsea said: 鈥淚鈥檓 extremely proud and very humbled to have been shortlisted. I have had some lovely messages from the midwifery teaching staff from the University who have always been very encouraging of my extra-curricular projects.

鈥淚 hope that by shining a light on the work that I鈥檓 doing, this will encourage other students to find their voice and speak up about the issues that matter to them. Not only that but I hope this also gets people talking about the ways in which we can work towards improving maternal health disparities for Black, Asian and ethnic minority women and birthing people in the UK.鈥�

Once she鈥檚 completed her degree, Chelsea looks forward to becoming a full-time midwife and hopes to one day become an infant feeding specialist.

Speaking during 台湾六合彩开奖记录鈥檚 鈥�Proud To Be Black鈥� campaign for Black History Month, Chelsea commented: 鈥淚 hope to inspire aspiring student midwives from the Black community to pursue their dreams. I鈥檓 incredibly passionate about the decolonisation of midwifery education and the importance of anti-racism in maternity care. I hope to become not only a top notch midwife but also a respected leader and force for change.鈥�

Kate Washington, Lecturer in Midwifery with the School of Society, Community & Health, commended Chelsea on her nomination. She said: 鈥淐helsea is an excellent student 鈥� very professional, respectful and passionate about midwifery.听 She has also worked hard throughout the pandemic in practice which has set her up to become a great health worker upon graduating.
