Last Sunday, they gave them their hearts.

16th Dec marked a significant day on LDRP as the team bade a happy retirement to Margaret Stephenson and also said Bon Voyage to Kirsten Colleran.

They  "pounced" during Margaret Stephenson's last shift on Sunday - to give her a surprise send-off. They had organised a special tea and presented her with gifts after 43 years as a midwife.

Margaret trained in Bristol but most of her career has been in Halifax. She has two children and is a grandma too.

And... she'll be back part-time working with elective caesarian patients. 

Kirsten leaves on January 2  for a new midwifery post in Guernsey.
