Windrush Day at King's! Windrush Day was marked on Saturday, 22 June, and to celebrate this important day, our Race, Ethnicity and Cultural Heritage (REACH) network, the Inter Faith & Belief network, and the Chaplaincy team held a thanksgiving service at the Princess Royal University Hospital (PRUH) on Friday, 21 June. Among the attendees were Professor Clive Kay, Chief Executive of the Trust; Angela Helleur, Site Chief Executive for the PRUH and South Sites, Rantimi Ayodele, Deputy Chief Medical Director at King's; Bernadette Thompson, Director of Equality, Diversity and Inclusion at King's; and Patsy Morris, a former midwife at King's with a remarkable connection to the #WindrushGeneration who also trained Angela on her journey to becoming a midwife at the Trust. The event, which was held in the Chapel at the PRUH, offered the opportunity to celebrate and reflect on the past and present as we acknowledged the commitment and courage of the people who came before us. #TeamKings #WindrushDay

Incredibly important to recognise the impact of the #WindrushGeneration on the NHS and King's. It's worth reading the King's Fund publication "You called and we came" to celebrate the 75th anniversary last year https://features.kingsfund.org.uk/windrush-and-the-nhs/
