About this event

  • 3 hours

Why is history important? Without learning from our past, we risk reinforcing stereotypes of nursing and care. But diversity doesn’t “just happen”. Join the RCN and LSBU on Windrush Day for an afternoon of talks and activities exploring the history of global majority nursing and help expand the RCN’s collections.

Activities and exhibition visiting from 1.30 - 2.30pm

Talks and panel discussion from 2.30 - 4pm. Full speaker details TBC.
