Stay and thrive - Exploring how culture impacts identity (Educator / Leader)
From the Philippines to India and India to Italy, the NHS employs staff from over 200 different nationalities. Which means that the UK is home to hundreds of thousands of healthcare professionals with a very diverse set of cultural backgrounds.

How can cultural context affect our sense of self and belonging? And what can we all do to help each other be our authentic selves at work?
