It is 75 years since Empire Windrush arrived in the UK to fill labour shortages and among its passengers from the Caribbean, many went on to work for the NHS.
The British health service has always been dependent on the talents of its diverse workforce since its inception in 1948 and by 1965, there were as many as 5,000 Jamaican women staffing hospitals.
But despite their loyalty to serve the country, many skilled workers of the Windrush generation were met with racism and prejudice, often forced to work below their expertise - and the same hardships are still felt today.
