Spreading the Global Citizenship message at the Association of Anaesthetists Annual Congress in Aberdeen this week. I didn't realise how much I waved my hands around! (Photo credits Alison Jarman and Lois Brand).

NHS Scotland is powered every day by the skills and experience of international and diaspora colleagues. Nearly 1 in 10 new nurses joining the Scottish register trained overseas — and more than half of new doctors entering the UK workforce are international medical graduates.

Thanks to everyone who stopped by our ‘Experts in Our Midst’ map yesterday! Colleagues from so many countries added their stories and origins. So much global expertise shaping care in NHS Tayside. 🌍💙 #ExpertsInOurMidst
