Blogs

We are looking for stories and blogs by nurses who trained overseas and have come to work in the UK, or people who are willing to be interviewed by us (online or phone). Blogs could describe personal experiences, learning, sources of support and overcoming challenges around culture, personal health, family issues, regulations, maternity pay, sick pay, language and customs. Please get in touch with Joanna Sagnella in the QNI communications team – joanna.sagnella@qni.org.uk – if you would like more information or to contribute. We look forward to hearing from you!
