    How does current midwifery training compare to your own training? Is there anything that you think has improved, or anything you think should be reintroduced to training, and why?
    Thanks!!

    (Continues to be starstruck...)

    Question - Although still very rare, male midwives seem to be making more of an appearance, how do you feel about this? Have you noticed an increase in their numbers, was it unheard of during your training and early practise?

    Thankyou!

    You trained as a nurse before becoming a midwife, as was the norm then, what's your opinion on nursing first vs direct entry training now?

    Thank you!

    In your opinion, which is most important when trying to increase the number of normal births, educating midwives, or educating the public?

    I'd like to hear what you have to say about Wozza's question too :)

    Loved the book Sheena, started it and just couldn't put it down :)

    My question would be - who within midwifery inspires you? Is there a particular midwife you have worked with that inspired you?

    Can I ask another question?!

    After 'call the midwife' airing on tv last night, did you watch! And if so what do you think to it? And would you consider making a tv mini drama from your books?
