A year-long campaign to recruit 40 oversees nurses to the region is under way to address staff shortages.
The first four – Shincy, Sonja, Yafika and Vidya – were welcomed to Dumfries at the weekend and will join the region’s nursing community of more than 2,000.
Finding their feet in the town this week, Shincy said the long flight to reach Scotland was worth it and they were delighted to be met by an NHS Dumfries and Galloway team at the airport.
