News | University of Leicester honours midwife who used personal heartbreak to improve care of parents of stillborn babies

👉 https://le.ac.uk/news/2026/january/university-leicester-honours-midwife-personal-heartbreak-parents-stillborn-babies

In 1973, Agnes Nisbett suffered the heartbreak of a stillbirth at Leicester Royal Infirmary (LRI), a situation made worse by the way that her baby was taken away from her.

She turned this tragedy to good effect by setting up initiatives to help other women in the same situation. The Born While Sleeping programme at the LRI, which included a dedicated ward for mothers of stillborn babies, was the first of its kind in the UK.

Thanks to Agnes, parents of stillborn babies are able to keep physical mementoes such as clothes, photographs and handprints, as well as knowing where their child is buried.

In recognition of her achievements, she was awarded an honorary Doctorate of Science at a graduation ceremony held at De Montfort Hall, today (Friday 16 January).

Huge congratulations to an amazing group of women. We were so proud to watch you walk across the stage at De Montfort Hall. Keep your passion, keep trailblazing and just carry on being the wonderful people that you are. Its been a joy to teach and support you these past 4 years. Lucy and Helen have been amazing cohort leads ❤️
We were also privileged to honour a former Leicester midwife Agnes Nesbitt who following her own baby loss changed how the NHS supports bereaved families ❤️
We also celebrated our beautiful Sophie who's sister bravely walked across the stage to collect her posthumous degree. We all miss Sophie dearly ❤️

Apologies this is a day late! Our students work in tertiary units who care for families having babies as early as 22 weeks. It's a scary time for families who have a long road ahead of them. I don't think you ever really understand until you are stood on that unit with the noises, smells, alarms. It's a very difficult place to be. We need to do more to enable families to stay together x
