This year, West London NHS Trust celebrated Black History Month by recognising the contributions of NHS staff from Black African and Caribbean backgrounds, as well as celebrating cultural diversity through food and fashion.
We had a vibrant and engaging calendar of events throughout October to celebrate, educate and motivate staff.
