Welcome to the Here for Life podcast series. In this episode we hear the amazing story of Jaki, Director of the Royal College of Midwives (RCM) Scotland and formerly Head of Midwifery in Argyll and Bute and Professional Midwifery Advisor to the Scottish Government.

Here for Life is a social movement for nurses and midwives to show us what they do. Not just what we might expect, but the genuine diversity of roles and people within the professions. Nurses and midwives have a huge impact on us as individuals and on society as a whole; in so many ways they are here for life itself – at every stage. 

Here for Life is a campaign delivered in partnership between the Chief Nursing Officers of the UK and Ireland and the RCN Foundation.
