Celebrating overseas nurses in Swansea Bay
The latest cohorts of international nurses to have moved thousands of miles to make Swansea Bay their home were given a warm Welsh welcome at a special event to celebrate their arrival.
Since January 2020, 516 overseas staff have been ethically recruited by the health board to help fill nursing vacancies - an issue felt throughout the UK.
Many have moved without their families, illustrating the many sacrifices that are made to take up a new opportunity in a new country.
The nurses have moved into adult, neonatal, mental health and midwifery specialties.
