This video shows Dr Louise Jenkins (Head of the School of Nursing and Midwifery, Anglia Ruskin University) being interviewed by Mainga Bhima (a Medical Student at the University of Bristol). The object under discussion is the 'forceps' - an instrument used to assist in childbirth

This object links with Unit 9 ('History of Medicine 1600 - 1900') and is an example of a simple, but very important, historical innovation object that had a profound impact on maternal and child health.
