NHS Lothian midwives up for prestigious award thanks to ingenious cozy creation for newborn babies
Stacey Boyle and Marianne Hay created cost-effective scrubs that allow skin-to-skin contact Two inspiring West Lothian midwives have created pioneering theatre scrubs that allow immediate skin-to-skin contact for babies delivered by Caesarean Section. Midwife Stacey Boyle and Senior Charge Midwife Marianne Hay of St John's Hospital in Livingston have been named as finalists in the Royal College of Nursing (RCN) Scotland Awards. Judges singled out the NHS Lothian pair for their ingenuity in creating the efficient, cost-effective, and sustainable Cozy Cuddle Scrubs (by Stacey)™, Marianne and Stacey have been named one of three finalists in the Inspiring Excellence — Nursing Innovation and Research Award category. Since spring 2024, InnoScot Health worked closely with the two midwives to realise their ambitions of improving neonatal care and outcomes for families and for the innovation to reach hospitals across the UK, possibly even globally. Alongside ACCORD, NHS Lothian's Research and Development team, InnoScot Health helped protect and register the design. Cozy Cuddle Scrubs (by Stacey)™ are now well-placed to become more widely available through manufacturing partners. Marianne and Stacey recognised that skin-to-skin contact helps newborns adjust to life outside the womb by keeping them warm while regulating heart rate and breathing, encouraging babies to look for breasts to start feeding, and assisting with immediate bonding and emotional connection. With the surgical team focusing on the mum and the completion of the C-Section, birthing partners often step in to provide that much needed contact — but with the newborn placed on their chest and covered with blankets or towels, that does not always effectively sustain or assist in keeping babies warm, meaning they can be at risk of having to be admitted to special care. Marianne and Stacey came up with the idea of specially adapted cost-effective scrubs for partners with an accessible covering, allowing vital skin-to-skin to take place as soon as the baby is born. With upcycled NHS fleeces used as the cosy material and a secure Velcro opening, newborns can nestle inside the scrubs and reap all the benefits of life-changing skin-to-skin with fathers/birthing partners until the individual who's given birth is able to. Gregor Poynton MP for Livingston wrote to congratulate the two midwives. He said: 'It is an incredible achievement to be recognised in this way, and you should be very proud of yourself — as I know your friends, family, and colleagues will be. 'The work you do as a midwife is incredibly important, and to have developed a technique that can be vital in helping a baby immediately is truly fantastic. 'I wish you all the very best for the awards — keep up the amazing work!' Regulatory Project Manager at InnoScot Health, Paula Sweeten said: 'I know just how delighted Marianne and Stacey are to have been named award finalists, so further acknowledgement from their MP only adds to their sense of achievement. 'The support for them and their ambitions after so much hard work has been incredible.' The award category winners will be named at a special ceremony taking place at the National Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh on June 12, while the highly coveted overall RCN Scotland Nurse of the Year 2025 will be selected from the registered nurse winners across the eligible categories.
