NHS Lothian Midwife's Pioneering Theatre Scrubs

Lodged by Miles Briggs (Scottish Conservative and Unionist Party) Standard Motion 30 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament pays tribute to Stacey Boyle, who is a midwife with NHS Lothian, for inventing what it sees as the pioneering theatre scrubs, Cozy Cuddle Scrubs; believes that this product has the potential to revolutionise neonatal care and improve outcomes for newborn babies; understands that babies delivered by caesarean section can be carefully placed into the sling-like pouch worn by the birth partner while the surgical team focus on the mum and the completion of the procedure; appreciates that this means that the baby can nestle inside the scrubs and reap the benefits of skin-to-skin contact that has been proven to regulate temperature, stabilise heartbeat, support steady breathing, help with early feeding and improve long-term health outcomes, and wishes Stacey, and NHS Lothian, all the best for the future.
