Unison Overseas Nurses Network
Welcome to Unison Overseas Nurses Network and this information
pack that we have for you. You should have in this pack:
- A Mapping exercise
(word doc - download by clicking here) that I hope that
you will fill it in to help us find the information that
is most useful to you. It should take you no more than 5
minutes to do.
- An information sheet, a live working document, that is
the starting point and I hope that you can and will contribute
to it now and in the future to benefit everyone.
- An information sheet on work permit that was produce with
the Ethnic Minorities Law Centre.
- Our Newsletter that give you some of the latest news and
information.
Unison Overseas Nurses Network was set up by Unison over
2 years ago in recognition of the needs of the overseas health
workers in Scotland. We started with 6 members and now we
have over 400 all over Scotland. The Network was set up as
an information point, a social contact and information exchange
point for us all, so that we can learn from each other. Being
an overseas nurse myself I missed my entire network in my
home country and I hope that this network can support us to
build new networks and new friendship in this country.
Our next network meeting will be on the
1st Dec 2005, at UNISON,
14 West Campbell Street,
Glasgow
From 7pm to 10pm.
We will have speakers that are of interest to us all, in
the past we have speaker from the NMC, Ethnic Minorities Law
Centre on work permit, training opportunities from the WEA
and on Agenda for Change.
