How did Aberdeen revolutionise modern midwifery and mother and baby
care? Whether you were born in - or gave birth in - Aberdeen or
elsewhere, you will probably have benefitted from the pioneering
work of some of the people mentioned in this book. Bringing life to
Aberdeen highlights many of the individuals who have made major
contributions to the advancement of midwifery and neonatal
services, and describes their influence and impact. Foremost
amongst these are the lasting and defining accomplishments of
Professor Sir Dugald Baird and Lady May Baird who give their name
to a new hospital dedicated to the care of women and their babies
in North East Scotland, known as the Baird Family Hospital. From
Margaret Bane, an Aberdeenshire 'howdie' (midwife) accused of
witchcraft in 1597 and put to death, to Margaret Myles, born in
Aberdeen in 1892 and responsible for Myles Textbook for Midwives
which - now in its 17th edition - remains the definitive resource
on practical midwifery, through to the present day, the story of
the people who have brought life to Aberdeen is truly remarkable.
