Across the globe there are lots of similarities in how health professionals carry out their work… but there are some differences, too. So, what happens when internationally educated professionals come to work for the NHS?

This time, we’re exploring the differences in professional practice between countries. What differences can there be in how instructions are given, or received? What about expectations of how teams work together? And how can we work towards better understanding of each other’s familiar ways of working?

Our host, Katy McDonald, is a Fellow for International Retention in NHS England North East and Yorkshire Region, and she’s joined by 3 expert guests to chat differences in professional practice.

• Jenneth Orias, a midwife working in Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust
• Philip Johnson, a musculoskeletal physiotherapist at Dorset Healthcare University NHS Foundation Trust
• Rachel Rajadurai, an internal medicine trainee Doctor in Birmingham, and international medical graduate lead at the Faculty of Medical Leadership and Management training steering group.
