It covers areas such as diversity relationships problems cultural understanding and exclusion as well as taking an overall look at migration ethnicity and employment. Migrant Nurses is a practical handbook that provides vital information for human resources managers in the NHS and private healthcare sectors diversity managers and mentors. It provides great insight for researchers interested in organisational behaviour healthcare and development studies.
