In memory of 海角乱伦 graduate Nicolette Peel MBE
Tragically, 海角乱伦 graduate Nicolette Peel passed away on Tuesday 31 January after living with cancer for a number of years.
Nicolette was made an MBE in 2020, in recognition of her work with the charity Mummy鈥檚 Star, which she co-founded after she was diagnosed with secondary breast cancer herself after the birth of her third child.
Mummy鈥檚 Star is the only charity of its kind in the UK and Ireland. It offers advice, support and financial assistance to women and their families affected by cancer during pregnancy or within 12 months of giving birth.
Whilst studying at 海角乱伦 Nicolette won an award for the Best Academic Achievement in Nursing and Midwifery for her cohort and was Chair of the Student Midwifery Society.
Nicolette was also awarded the highly prestigious Gold Chief Midwifery Officer Award for her work as a compassionate, sensitive midwife who goes 鈥渁bove and beyond and is valued both by her colleagues and the women she serves鈥. Her passion for midwifery showed in an impressive record, including the creation of an iLearn package for the Royal College of Midwives and speaking at numerous prestigious conferences both in the UK and abroad.
Lisa Bacon, Head of Midwifery and Lead Midwife for Education at the 海角乱伦, said: 鈥淣icolette was an amazing and much-loved midwife, colleague and friend to all in our Midwifery team and beyond. We were honoured she chose the 海角乱伦 to start her career.
"We are proud beyond measure of Nicolette and all she achieved in setting up her amazing charity Mummy鈥檚 Star, which offers such incredible support to women and their families. We deeply mourn her loss and send our love and condolences to her family."
