Key improvements included creating a Teams Channel hub for 358 international staff, partnering with community groups, arranging study skills courses with Hull University, and delivering leadership training through the RCN Developing Leaders programme.<\/p>\n<p>Results showed significant improvements in\u00a0Objective Structured Clinical Examination pass rates (first-time passes increased from 30 per cent to 46 per cent), reducing costs by \u00a38,734 and shortening supernumerary periods. The initiative also created pathways for international candidates to become healthcare assistants. Feedback from IENs was positive, though a key learning was the need for flexibility beyond the initial four-week integration plan.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/solutions.hsj.co.uk\/7023213.article\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">Read a detailed case study about this project at HSJ Solutions<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Highly commended<\/p>\n<p>West Yorkshire Staff Mental Health and Wellbeing Hub:\u00a0Exploring the Impact of Racial Trauma: The Foundation<\/p>\n<p>Finalists<\/p>\n<p>Hertfordshire Community Trust:\u00a0Staff wellbeing service<\/p>\n<p>Locala Health and Wellbeing:\u00a0Locala Invisible Illness and Disability Group<\/p>\n<p>NHS Blood and Transplant:\u00a0Identifying and Managing Fatigue in Nurses Completing On-Call Work<\/p>\n<p>NHS Elect:\u00a0Community Diagnostic Centres (CDC) Staff Wellbeing Experience-Based Design (EBD) Study<\/p>\n<p>Northumbria Healthcare FT:\u00a0Physical Activity and Wellbeing Team<\/p>\n<p>South London and Maudsley FT:\u00a0Wellbeing Matters Project, Staff Support Team<\/p>\n<p>West Midlands Ambulance Service:\u00a0Health and Wellbeing Roadshows<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The organisation implemented this initiative to support internationally educated nurses (IENs) transitioning to the NHS, addressing isolation and&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":142359,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[43],"tags":[102,2960,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-142358","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-healthcare","8":"tag-health","9":"tag-healthcare","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom","12":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/142358","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=142358"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/142358\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/142359"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=142358"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=142358"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=142358"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
