Stay and thrive (Educator / Leader)
The diversity of the NHS workforce is increasing, with trained healthcare professionals travelling from all over the world to support the UK. This means that it’s more vital than ever to address issues around equality and inclusion.
This time, we’re talking about some of the challenges that internationally educated professionals can face when they join the NHS workforce. How can senior leaders create equitable organisations and teams? What are microaggressions, and why do they matter? And what can we all do to ensure an equal and inclusive work environment?
Our host, Katy McDonald, is a Fellow for International Retention in NHS England North East and Yorkshire Region, and she’s joined by 2 expert guests to chat equality, diversity, and inclusion.
