Louise Moylan, a Smokefree Pregnancy Practitioner at Ormskirk Hospital, has been awarded a prestigious Cavell Star Award for her passion and work ethic in the Smoking Cessation service in maternity.
Cavell supports nurses, midwives, nursing associates and maternity support workers, and their awards celebrate staff who have gone above and beyond in their roles, showing exceptional care towards their colleagues, patients and patients’ families.
Louise, who started out at MWL as a Maternity Support Worker, has since developed into the smokefree practitioner role.
She helps with information and signposting regarding mental health support, financial aid and housing, expanding her role to ensure that the women are supported in all aspects of their life, not just smoking.
Louise said: “I really enjoy my role and how interesting and fulfilling it is. I’m able to help women and their families reduce the risks of smoking, with some even managing to quit.
“It’s a huge honour to receive this award, which wouldn’t be possible without the support from my colleagues Cheryl, Gemma and the rest of the team.”
