TUoS BAME Staff Network warmly hosts Professor Dame Elizabeth Anionwu as she talks about her distinguished career in the healthcare sector.
This online event is free to attend and is open to staff, students, and members of the public.
The BAME Staff Network invites you to attend this online event as part of Black History Month.
Dame Professor Anionwu DBE, FRCN was inspired to become a nurse at the young age of four because, whilst she was in care, a ‘wonderful nursing nun’ treated her childhood eczema in an expert and sensitive manner. Born in Birmingham in 1947, she identifies herself as of Irish/Nigerian heritage and started work for the NHS as a school nurse assistant in Wolverhampton at the age of 16.
Join us as the Chair of our BAME Staff Network interviews Dame Anionwu about her career in the healthcare sector, including the challenges she faced and the success that she has achieved. Submit any questions you may have in advance to bamenetwork@sheffield.ac.uk or turn up on the day and ask your questions via the live chat.
