The Tricia Anderson Award is made annually and supports individuals or groups wishing to undertake activities that reflect Tricia’s passion, innovative approach, scholarship and commitment to the wellbeing of mothers and midwives. Tricia’s passion for literature and the arts, especially music, informed and inspired her life and was a rich and integral part of her midwifery philosophy.

This award funds a different kind of project.

In 2009 Alison Taylor, or first recipient, was funded to make video diaries as an educational resource.
In 2010 Jane Cross used tactile, 3D images that attach to a plain, white T-shirt using Velcro to help women understand fetal positioning.
In 2011 Rachel Beckett established Birthbeats is a new, online resource for parents-to-be and health professionals to promote the benefits of using music during labour and birth.
