Wednesday, 6 May, 4.30pm (refreshments from 4pm), CRV139, ‘From Far and Wide’: Health and Social Care Workers from Overseas
Currently, one in five NHS staff are non-UK nationals and since the launch of the NHS in 1948, workers from overseas have played a pivotal role. Healthcare workers in the NHS currently come from over 200 countries and a similar picture exists amongst the social care workforce.
Come and celebrate their achievements and hear from some of the health and social care workers who have come from across the world to work in the NHS and social care.
The University Choir, under the direction of Matt Baker, hope to perform part of his recent work, ‘Wings of the Sky’.
