Despite only being 10-years-old, I knew how important a good healthcare system was to their survival,\u201d says Asha. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It was this early experience that inspired Asha to join the NHS. She describes how the care, compassion, and kindness shown to her siblings by the NHS nursing team made her want to pursue a career where she could help people too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now after 40 years of working as a nurse in the NHS, Asha can\u2019t see herself anywhere else. \u201cI\u2019m currently in a senior nursing role that I never imagined reaching at the start of my career,\u201d says Asha, who is Head of International Recruitment, Leicestershire Partnership NHS Trust\/Head of Nursing, Midwifery &amp; AHPs Inclusion, LLR ICB. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-white-color has-black-background-color has-text-color has-background wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\u201cPatients often remember the nurse; the encouraging words often spoken, and the daily acts of kindness and compassion shown to them has a lasting impression,\u201d says Asha. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In her day to day role, Asha supports internationally recruited nurses start their career with the NHS. \u201cAs part of this, I provide them with clinical training, mentoring, and both emotional and pastoral support,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today, Asha is not only in a job she loves but is helping others pursue their dream job at the NHS too. \u201cWhen I first went into public health, I did notice disparities but there has been a lot of positive change since,\u201d says Asha. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cLook at all the fantastic international nurses we now have strengthening our workforce!\u201d she says proudly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dr Navina Evans, Chief Workforce Officer at NHS England, agrees. Navina began her career as a psychiatrist within East London Foundation Trust, progressing to consultant psychiatrist, before taking on senior management responsibilities. She worked her way up to clinical director and is now the first Asian woman to lead Health Education England.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.asianexpress.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/SA-WATNHS-Navina-Evans-Quote-Card_23-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-46507\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Navina sees the task of correcting racial inequality in the NHS as far greater than a mere box-ticking exercise. \u201cDiversifying leadership is a start and repeated studies have shown diverse leaderships often perform better,\u201d says Navina. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To be successful in the NHS, Navina believes in building a meaningful connection with patients and staff, engaging with staff at all levels of the organisation and keeping patient care at the core of decision making.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNurses are the backbone of the NHS and will always be in high demand\u201d says Navina. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe pandemic has highlighted the need for greater versatility and adaptability within healthcare, and we must prioritise senior nursing roles that will help us plan for the long term. Right now, there\u2019s a great opportunity for people with the right skill-set and values to join the NHS.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Like Navina, Asha\u2019s family have been extremely supportive of her career. \u201cMy family had experienced medical emergencies and understood the importance of nursing so they fully supported my decision as they saw the positive impact I could make,\u201d says Asha, who thinks nursing is a great career option for those thinking about what to do next.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cPatients often remember the nurse; the encouraging words often spoken, and the daily acts of kindness and compassion shown to them has a lasting impression,\u201d says Asha. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe NHS has a range of positions available and plenty of opportunities for you to excel.
