Shan

Clinic Midwife

Shan achieved her Registration as a General Nurse and Midwife in early 1980. Up to the early 90’s she worked in several hospitals in rural Queensland and achieved significant experience in all aspects of General and Midwifery care. Rural Midwifery, at that time, was very challenging as medical support was limited and Tertiary Hospitals were many miles away.
She is married to Michael, has two adult daughters and four beautiful grand children.
Shan and her family moved from country Queensland to Ipswich in 1990 and she worked at Ipswich General Hospital Maternity unit until starting part time work with Rachel in 2010. During her time at Ipswich General Hospital her main focus was Antenatal Care and she was the Level 2 Midwife in the Antenatal Clinic for the majority of those years. Postnatal care and also Birth Suite were part of her roll and she was privileged to birth many babies during those years.
