Diversity and Inclusion Champion Finalist of the Year
Nov 20, 2024
Source Nursing Times Workforce Summary "As a migrant nurse, I have experienced firsthand the impact of institutional and procedural discrimination and unintentional bias. Despite advancements in Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion, the practicality of EDI policies remains questionable, consequently creating a ‘devalued’ feeling and causing a catastrophic effect on patient care as a lack of practical inclusivity results in nurses not feeling safe enough to speak up to enhance patient care. This has led to my continuous work across clinical projects to promote an intentionally practical diverse and inclusive environment that aims to tackle exclusion from the roots by delving into the richness of diversity of nursing students and staff through innovative co-produced storytelling that practicalizes inclusivity and diversity in our curriculum, practice, and development."
