British Sikh Nurses ☬

Reaching out to diverse groups in the South Asian Community e.g. older generation or those with no or limited English language Building trust within the Asian communities for those who have lost trust with healthcare providers and bridging the gap between the NHS and hard to reach South Asian communities Working directly with the families searching for living donors from NHSBT has had a huge impact on the uptake of organ donor registrations. Being a key promotional driver for stem cell and organ donor drives across the UK for Asian patients waiting for donors Bringing the Sikh community together across all sectors to talk about the impact of lifestyle choices and health and wellbeing We have a number of South Asian nurses on our list that are welcome to assist us on our health promotional drives, as well as us providing support for their professional development. Our campaigns and promotional drives for organ and stem cell donation have increased the stem register with DKMS and Anthony Nolan to approximately 10,000 South Asians. And our organ donation campaigns have supported around 7 families and found donor matches for two families. We have been featured on the BBC Victoria Derbyshire Show, Easter Eye Magazine, MATV, Nursing Standard, Akaal Channel, and Sikh Channel, as well as taken part in conferences and discussions around health, organ donation, and mental health issues that directly affect the Sikh community Our ethos is SEWA - Selfless Service to everyone Finally, British Sikh Nurses have been awarded the 1514th Point of Light Award, won the Royal College of Nursing Leadership Award (2021), and also received an award for outstanding community work from the London Faith and Belief Awards in 2018.
