    Abstract

    COVID-19 outbreak, a severe respiratory infection, was an international public health emergency. Like many other countries, the crisis shattered most states of India, and Indian healthcare professionals lacked skills, knowledge, and resources for managing the scale and severity of the pandemic. The British Indian Nurses Association (BINA) took the initiative of offering support to Indian Nurses to address this massive skills and knowledge gap issue and asked for volunteers. Around 65 British Indian Nurses (clinical nurses, educators and researchers working across the UK) showed interest. These Indian origin UK nurses felt the moral and social obligation to volunteer to share their expert knowledge to provide cross-cultural digital educational support to the Indian nursing workforce (Ford, 2021). The authors volunteered to become the programme development team and co-ordination team and led to the successful completion of the project.
