Nationalities of NCIC

Why international recruitment has always been essential for the NHS.

NCIC’s International Recruitment Journey

How NCIC became the most diverse employer in the county.

Impact of International Recruitment in Cumbria

Internationally recruited staff face unique challenges that wouldn’t always be a consideration when relocating to a different area. As a result NCIC has a dedicated Onboarding Officer.

NCIC’s National Treasures #StayAndThrive

The National Treasures commission depicts the 71 nationalities that make up our staff population. Each pin shows a different country with the border showing the main colour of each of their flags.

This project was funded through NHS England North East and Yorkshire’s #StayAndThrive Innovation Fund 2024 and led by Bryony Morgan Simmons of North Cumbria Integrated Care NHS Foundation Trust.
