Nancy Durrell McKenna has been awarded The Royal Photographic Society: Combined Royal Colleges Medal for her outstanding contribution to photography in the service of medicine and surgery. The medal is awarded by The Society in collaboration with the Royal College of Physicians of London, the Royal College of Surgeons of England and the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists.

Nancy has worked with Sheila on books about birth, breastfeeding and sex. Her photograph in Women's Experience of Sex, of a beautiful naked woman who had a breast amputated because of cancer, both shocks and reassures us. Her lively photographs of babies at the breast in Breast Feeding show that women with all different sizes and types of breasts can breastfeed successfully.

Her photographs can be seen in several of Sheila's books -

Women's Experience of Sex
Freedom and Choice in Childbirth
The Experience of Breastfeeding
Giving Birth. How it really feels
Breastfeeding your Baby
Pregnancy and Childbirth
Pregnancy Day-by-Day

Nancy is currently working on the theme of safe motherhood through the charity she founded called SafeHands for Mothers.
