I'm doing my dissertation on the experiences of Filipinos, both women and men who as nurses, nannies, drivers and domestics migrate to the UK to work. My interest is based on my own 30 years of nursing and caring experience, where I am happy to say I have worked alongside many hardworking and supportive Filipinos. Currently, I work in social care in the community with a really good Filipino guy. I'm looking to make further friends and chat to people for my study-anyone interested ?
welcome to the site. my wife was a midwife ( 20 years ) in the philippines. now she is a senior carer in the UK--studyiyng for nvq 5.
Hi (again) Nicky. I hope you get some responses to your request. Are you looking to collate data from a questionnaire or is it a more informal approach?
Hi, how wonderful twenty years of bringing people into the world! I was a haematology /oncology nurse then worked like your wife as a carer before changing to social care and now working as a support worker in the community. I would love to talk to her ?
I would love to hear peoples own ideas about care - I've also got a questionnaire -I'll post it for your information. I wouldn't post it till your approval. Actually is there an email address I could send it too? Thank you Nicky.
No problem to post it but you can also private message it if you get some interest. I was thinking a PM may be more suitable for the responses as at least no one is divulging their information publicly then.
Thank you I've sent the survey to facebook page with suggestion to PM me -the form in totally anonymous, just read, if happy, fill in and send no name or contact details are shown. No one else can see response. Thanks : )
I work as a Manager of a sheltered housing complex for the elderly. I have the pleasure of meeting many nationalities due to the different care agencies that visit. I must say though without any bias at all. it is the Filipino carers who are the most appreciated by my tenants. Would gladly help in anyway I can. Jx
Fantastic ! Thanks John, yes that's my experience too. I would love a chat for my study. How best shall I contact you ?
