The University of Sunderland is celebrating its first ever class of graduating midwives who are supporting families during their pregnancy journeys across the north-east.

The group of 18 NHS workers will travel to the country later this month

The online events will be held in South Tyneside and Sunderland to help families support a child develop their skills.

As 2026 began, the Maternity team at Sunderland Royal Hospital was on hand throughout the night to safely deliver the first babies of the New Year.

NHS organisations across the region are supporting the North East Ambulance Service in urging the public to celebrate the New Year safely and responsibly.
