The MELTING Project


MELTING, standing for Multi-Ethnic Learning and Teaching in Nursing.
A collaborative project initiated by the Mary Seacole Centre in the UK aimed at raising awareness of the multi-ethnic dimension of nursing, essential in today’s culturally diverse and rich society.

The MELTING project, launched in 2004, is now a model for transcultural healthcare practice, suitable for nurses and midwives involved in learning disability, adult, child and mental health. It also includes sections on the epidemiology and politics of diversity, transcultural communication and healthcare practice, multi-agency, race equality management and clinical supervision.

The Mary Seacole Centre works to promote the integration of a multi-ethnic philosophy into the process of nursing and midwifery recruitment, education, practice, management and research.
