WE would like to thank our midwife Sally Burns, and the two paramedics (we did not get their names, but are sure they will remember us) who aided in the safe delivery of our daughter at Worcestershire Royal Hospital on Thursday, June 30 after a dash from our home in an ambulance.

Fortunately we are safe at home now and looking forward to a happy life as a family.

Without the support and dedication of the paramedics and Sally to their jobs, and to us as patients, the birth of Caitlin may well have turned out very different.

Quite simply - thank you.
