A nurse has become the first in a wheelchair to work on the frontline of the NHS.Michelle Quested, 33, lost the use of her legs in a car accident seven years ago. But the dedicated nurse was determined not to let her disability get in the way of her clinical work at Birmingham Children’s Hospital. Quested made £1,800 worth of changes to her wheelchair in order to be able to work, supported by the Cavell Nurses Trust, before returning to the hospital’s neonatal cardiology ward. ‘I cannot find any other frontline nursing staff in the UK who use a wheelchair, after doing a lot of research,’ she said. ‘But nurses are born to be nurses – and I wasn’t going to let being in a wheelchair stop me.’ Quested qualified as a nurse in 2004, and started working at the children’s hospital soon afterwards.
