Using this holistic approach, you can then connect people to community groups and statutory services for practical and emotional support.

We want you to build trust and respect, providing non-judgemental and non-discriminatory support, respecting lifestyle choices, accepting those who are not ready but trying to understand what unique fears and hurdles they face around their health and wellbeing.
As Maya Angelou said: "People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel."
If you have a particular interest in working with patients who are seeking asylum, this is an option.
