About the Organization
We were born in response to the Covid-19 pandemic, which highlighted the disproportionate impact (Deaths and serious illnesses) of the Novel Coronavirus on Black nurses on the frontline due to them being inadequately risk-assessed concerning their vulnerability to the virus. This prompted a tirade of reactions from Black Nurses. They complained to us about other forms of racism that they had experienced but tolerated in silence for many years. However, they now felt enabled and inspired enough to voice their stories of racism in the NHS and the healthcare sector. We offers race-based therapies to nurses, and provides advice and support from lawyers and mediation experts to deal with workplace racial discrimination issues. We work at first informally and, if necessary, formally to assist nurses in becoming self-litigants and bringing these incidences of discrimination to the attention of their Health and Care employers in the hope of resolving matters in an amicable and mutually beneficial way. Our mission is to empower nurses to stand up against racism.

On-site Supervision and Support
Our internships include 24/7 on-site staff to support students working and living abroad. All students will also report to a supervisor at their internship site. Supervisors provide and oversee daily tasks, introduce the intern to team members, and mentor the intern in organizational agility, skill acquisition, and career readiness. Interns complete a midpoint and final evaluation, and supervisors complete a final evaluation of their interns. All work responsibilities and projects are approved in advance.
