Trish Dyter, senior midwife and professional midwifery advocate at Lewisham and Greenwich NHS Trust, marked her 50-year milestone with a celebration at Queen Elizabeth Hospital, surrounded by colleagues. She began her career at Queen Mary's Hospital in Sidcup on 1 June 1976, and has supported families through decades of change across the NHS and maternity services.
Ms Dyter now co-ordinates pregnancy vaccination clinics across the trust's sites. Under her leadership, the trust offers clinics five days a week, including a satellite clinic at Queen Mary's. She continues her work as a professional midwifery advocate, carrying out birth reviews to support learning and improve care.
Reflecting on her long career, Ms Dyter said: 'I have always loved what I do, there has been a great variety of experience. I have watched the profession develop and change over the years.' She has kept thank-you cards from families she has cared for over the decades, and former patients still recognise her. To those beginning their midwifery journeys, she offered the advice: 'BE KIND. Kindness will always be mentioned as a standout.'
