Hornsby midwife recognised for inspirational paediatric care
Gosha Gersbach helps the lives of hundreds of babies every year as she provides her expert care to newborns and their families at Hornsby Ku-ring-gai Hospital. Her dedication and passion for neonatology has earned her the Humpty Dumpty’s Michelle Beets Award for Inspirational Paediatric Care. Held since 2012, the award honours the memory of Michelle Beets, a highly respected nurse who worked at Royal North Shore Hospital for 25 years before she tragically lost her life on 27 April 2010. With the support of the NSW Government, the Humpty Dumpty Foundation continues to honour Michelle by rewarding inspiration in paediatric care within the NSW public health
system. Gosha is a clinical midwifery specialist and was recognised for her exceptional paediatric care and dedication to neonates and families. She combines clinical excellence with leadership and education, mentoring staff and the next generation of midwives. Upon accepting her award, Gosha said: “You may never meet the babies you have helped but trust me you have changed their lives in the most meaningful way.” Gosha received $25,000 worth of medical equipment through the Humpty Dumpty Foundation for use at Hornsby and a $5000 bursary for professional development, training, or research.
