Nepalese nurse on growing 'home' community

Manny Masih

Available for over a year

If home is where the heart is, what helps you love where you live? We're half-way through a series of conversations with South Asians who've relocated thousands of miles to pursue healthcare work in Somerset. Soni Shakya hadn't left Kathmandu in Nepal before relocating to the UK a decade ago. She now works as a nurse at Musgrove Park Hospital in Taunton and is really happy to see growth in the Nepalese community at home.
