Dame Karlene Davis is retiring this month after eleven years as General Secretary of the Royal College of Midwives. Dame Karlene came to Britain from Jamaica in 1967 to train as a nurse and then a midwife, rising through the ranks to become Britain’s first female, black union leader. She talks to Jane about what has been achieved for the profession, and for mothers during her tenure and what battles there are still to fight.
