Emergency caesarean quick response led to team of the month accolade
The team were nominated by their colleague Dr Charlotte Cox after their combined efforts when a patient required an emergency caesarean section.
Dr Cox said: "An emergency theatre was organised in fifteen minutes, with a team in place and ready. The anaesthetic team also arrived quickly offering support and to organise the transfer of the patient, while two midwives reassured the patient and partner throughout a very nervous emergency situation.
