NEW HORIZONS
Innovative Support and Development Program for International Healthcare Professionals
Beyond Retention
Despite almost half of nurses and midwives being trained outside the UK (NMC data report, 2021-22), there has been limited attention to supporting long term retention of internationally recruited healthcare professionals (International Journal of Nursing Studies, 2022).
Experiencing a sense of isolation, alienation, or feeling left out, is not uncommon in the first months upon arrival in the UK. In addition to possible language barriers, the cultural differences between colleagues and added challenge of settling into a new working environment can impact a person's wellbeing and sense of belonging.
New Horizons
This support and development program for newly recruited international healthcare professionals offers:
-
new thinking
-
supportive practices
-
within a peer network
-
direct involvement from line managers
Through experiential learning, participants will be supported to settle into their new roles and new organisations, with opportunities to share, be heard, celebrated, and strengthen their sense of belonging.
With direct involvement from their line managers, as well as other colleagues with an international background, participants will be recognised for the value they bring and supported in their personal and professional growth in the context of cultural integration.
