Reflecting on the award, Gloria says:

Winning the Mary Seacole Leadership Award has been a highlight in my career. I have always had ideas on how I could influence the health care of people who may be disadvantaged in society and the Mary seacole award has started me on a journey to do this.  The Project I am working on concerns the exploration of communication processes between Health Care Works and Ethnic Minority Elders. From this exploration I have proposed a Communication Model which can be used by health care workers to enhance the care of ethnic minority elders and in so doing maintain their dignity. The project has also identified issues on training of health care workers in communication to enable them to provide culturally competent care.  I have already presented part of the project at the UK Phi Mu Chapter Inaugural Conference in Bournemouth. Other presentations and journal articles are planned.  The Mary Seacole award has enabled me to network with health care and social care providers and to hear, first hand, their views on communication.  I have developed my leadership skills and feel more energised to be a diversity champion generally and for older people in particular.

Visiting students from Singapore

Joseph Tan and Rachel Goon from Nanyang Polytehnic in Singapore had this to say after their visit to Hull:

Joseph and Rachel

We would also like to send you our sincere appreciation for the kind hospitality Hull Royal Infirmary, University of Hull and yourself have shown us during our 6 weeks placement in UK. This invaluable placement in UK have benefited us both tremendously as nurses and served to widen our horizons in the field of nursing in the UK. In the process we have both made some good friends at the hospitals as well as wit some students from Hull university; and have enjoyed ourselves during our tours around the country. 

Rachel and Jospeh
with Dr Jeremy Jolley

Once again I like to extend our warmest appreciation to you and the university of hull for offering us this wonderful experience. We hope that Hull university would continue to support NanYang Polytechnic for future student placements in the years ahead.
