East and South East Asian Heritage Month

Thursday 1 to Friday 30 September is East and South East Asian Heritage Month, a fairly new recognition month that we at University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust (UHB) are looking forward to getting involved in.

Throughout the month we will be learning from and celebrating our colleagues from East and South East Asian countries, along with the history of that part of the world.

There will be opportunities to read, eat and celebrate as you take part in the various activities.
