Nurse Kanchana moved to Lanarkshire 18 months ago, from India and she got to speak to the King. She said: “I was excited to be asked to take part and tell the King, and other nurses from around the UK, the great work we’re doing here in Lanarkshire. "I told him I’m very proud to be a paediatric nurse in North Lanarkshire, I’m delighted I had the opportunity to move to Lanarkshire and that my family has settled in so well. “It’s such an accolade for the people of Lanarkshire that they have helped our international nurses settle in so well. “The fact that Lanarkshire nurses were invited to attend the event is a strong endorsement of the high esteem our nurses are held in.
