BBC South East featured international staff from Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells NHS Trust (MTW) in a special news report on migration last week.

Health Correspondent, Mark Norman spoke to Dr Chirollos Romani-Naguib, Chief Registrar, Joanne Cabiguen, Theatre Practitioner and Ashmi Varghese, Domestic Supervisor, about their experiences of living and working in the UK.

The BBC also sat down with Helen Palmer, MTW’s Chief People Officer, to discuss the important role that international staff play at the Trust, and across the wider NHS.

Over 30% of staff at MTW are international, representing almost 100 nationalities. The incredible contribution that overseas staff make to the NHS, and the breadth of skills, experience and compassion they bring to patient care, was recently celebrated on Overseas NHS Workers Day, held on 7 March.
