Denise Ahmed has been hailed a "local hero" for her exhausting dedication. A trainee midwife who delivered thirty-seven babies in little over a year has been recognised for her work. Denise Ahmed, who won the national Inspirational Student award this year, has been hailed a local hero at Hillingdon Hospital. Fifteen months ahead of schedule, she's almost reached the total of forty deliveries required for her training. Denise balances her studies at the University of West London and her midwifery duties at the hospital alongside raising her four children. She told Vanessa Baffoe why she's getting into the profession at a time when many are leaving and also explained why she supports the decision by members of the Royal College of Midwives to strike for the first time in its 133-year history.
