Dr. Nirmal Aryal, who is a part-time researcher in the Department of Nursing Sciences, was interviewed in Nepal by a journalist for Kantipur, the largest Nepali-language newspaper of the country. Nirmal was interviewed after our successful research dissemination events last week in both the capital Kathmandu and in Janakpur (in the south of Nepal). These dissemination programmes reported on a study into the risk of kidney damage in Nepalese migrant workers. This study, led by Bournemouth University’s Dr. Pramod Regmi,was funded by The Colt Foundation in the UK. Dr. Nirmal Aryal is also research associate in the Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Research Unit of Greater Manchester Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust.
