An investigation of a cluster of cancer cases occurring amongst midwives who had worked at National Women's Hospital from 1966 to 2000

Abstract:

In 1999 Mrs Jocelyn Boddie, a midwife who had worked at National Women’s Hospital (NWH), approached Mr Gary Henry, General Manager of the hospital, expressing her concern at the number of midwives who had worked at NWH who had been recently diagnosed as suffering from cancer. Her letter raised the possibility of a workplace association causing or contributing to this cluster of cases. This report provides a brief overview of the resulting study completed in July 2001.
