Supporting internationally educated nurses to stay and thrive in the NHS

Description

Guided by positive deviance methodology, a community of practice named #StayAndThrive came together to positively influence the experience of internationally educated nurses working in England. Findings suggest that improving the experiences of such nurses can be achieved by creating strong foundations, making new recruits welcome, building a sense of belonging, and maximising personal and professional growth. These four key pillars were developed into a bundle of evidence-based learning tools and recommendations to support internationally educated nurses in practice.
