Description
Windrush Programme
Caribbean nurses arrived in Britain, alongside other skilled and unskilled workers on HMT Empire Windrush in June 1948, the same year as the inception of the NHS. "Windrush nurses were, and their descendants remain, major contributors to the NHS workforce". This programme was originally developed to mark the 70th anniversary of the arrival of the Windrush.
Staff are the greatest resource the NHS has and one in five are of Black, Asian or Minority Ethnic (BAME) origin rising to much higher levels in some parts of the country. It is evidenced through the WRES data that our BAME staff are treated less favourably, have poorer working experience and progression opportunities.
Organisations with diverse workforce and leadership are more likely to be sensitive to local health needs, including those linked to reducing health inequalities linked to ethnicity.
This programme aims to develop the leadership potential in BAME nurses and midwives and provides them with the opportunity to realise their potential.
Windrush Leadership Scholarships
These scholarships provide an opportunity for up to 5 BAME nurses and or midwives to further develop their leadership potential through a peer-to-peer learning environment to discover and explore personal leadership styles.
