The best places to work for NHS, in Birmingham
“Another positive aspect of relocating to the UK was that I was able to experience a different National Health Service and was able to learn more about the nursing practice abroad. Was also crucial to be able to progress in my career, and it was easier to choose the specific area of nursing that I wanted to work and develop my skills. It was good to meet different people with different cultural backgrounds and learn more about their diversity.”
