A Reunion To Remember.
What a special day it was, coming together to celebrate 50 years in midwifery!
Meeting at St Bartholomew’s Hospital, we reminisced over coffee, explored the changes since our last reunion, and of course, took our traditional photo by the fountain (thankfully, the weather was on our side!).
The day wouldn’t have been complete without a lovely lunch down the road, filled with laughter, memories, and stories from decades of dedication to nursing and midwifery..
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who came – it was a joy to reconnect and reflect on the journey we’ve shared. Here’s to the next reunion! 💜
THE START OF MY CAREER
Monday February 17 1975 was the beginning of my career, and the start of my nurse training at St Bartholomew’s Hospital in the City of London. A group of 38 of us entered Preliminary training School (PTS), an eight-week period of classroom learning before being let loose on the wards. We were almost all in our late teens or early twenties and unmarried (although one girl was 25 and – horror of horrors – divorced!) It was the first time away from home for many of us and out tutors acted in loco parentis. Great excitement ensued as we were given our uniforms and taught how to make up our caps from a starched square of thick white cotton. We had our hair length assessed and if it was on our collars, we were required to tie it up under the cap. Skirt length of our uniform dresses was actually measured and had to sit on the knee when standing straight. Any ladders in our black stockings meant we had to change them to ensure we looked professional. We even had our nail length and the amount of make up (discouraged) examined. No perfume was allowed at all as it could adversely affect some patients. Those first few weeks were exhausting, somewhat frightening but entirely exhilarating as we prepared to go out into practice for the first time
Denise Delorey
I graduated from Dalhousie University School of Nursing in 1989. My nursing interests and experience have been in adult medical-surgical nursing with a focus on patient education to enhance their ability to self-manage chronic conditions. In 2005, I joined the School of Nursing at Saint Francis Xavier University as a Clinical Educator. I completed a Masters of Adut Education in 2018. My research focused on adult learning principles in factors that support learning faculty learning as they adopted a new curriculum and shifted to active teaching strategies. I am currently a PhD candidate at the University of Ottawa. My research focuses on using virtual simulation as an innovative tool to deliver interprofessional education in uni-professional nursing schools. Specifically, to engage nursing students in interprofessional collaboration in which they are active contributing members of the health care team. I am a member of the CAN-Sim Alliance network that supports nurse educators using virtual and in-person simulation and a member of the Canadian Interprofessional Health Collaborative (CIHC) My research program intends to support my colleagues in creating and utilizing virtual simulations in nursing programs and develop teaching activities to support Interprofessional collaboration competencies to prepare future graduates to work as members of the interprofessional team.
With my strong background in medical surgical nursing and chronic diseases, my courses include N232, alterations in Health I, N307, alterations in Health II and N332, advanced therapeutics for care of persons experiencing complex multisystem challenges.

Biography:
Denise Love is a dynamic international speaker and educator. She is passionate about life and compelled to support women through their many transitions in life. With an ever developing interest in life and death, she walks the path with many around death, particularly women whose babies die, either in utero, at birth, or soon thereafter. With a Masters degree in nursing, living and working in remote villages in Asian countries as well as Australia, she is determined that women and babies be treated respectfully within their cultural expectations.
As a childbirth educator and an instigator of the introduction and training of doulas in Australia 20 years ago, Denise identified the vital need for birthing women to ""find their voice"" and trust their ancient internal ability to birth their babies. This recognition was stimulated by the developed world's highly structured interventionist and medicalised birthing paradigms and seemingly inflexible protocols and practices. Birth matters and so does the way we all die. Combining direct language, ritual and acknowledgement of grief when a baby dies, Denise brings a refreshing attitude and approach. In her early years, practising as a Registered Nurse in remote indigenous communities, Denise gained valuable insight into how to trust our innate ability to birth, live fully and die. Denise's view has since been further reinforced through her work with vulnerable marginalised villagers in developing countries, where death is accepted as just a normal part of living.
