Full event details

The case study of nurses in Britain’s NHS will illustrate the role of women who migrated from colonies in the Caribbean to work in Britain following WWII. She will show how history repeated itself half a century later as nurses from Ghana, Sierra Leone and Zimbabwe provide vital services in our contemporary health services. Through labour migration Britain has become a socially and culturally diverse society.

Year 12 and Access students are welcome to attend individually or as part of a school group. Priority will be given to WP students.
