International nurses' photos on tour


 An exciting day on the road for our photography project  - THROUGH MY LENS - working with international nurses at the Royal Cornwall Hospital, Truro. The workshops, led by Mike Newman, a photographer based in Penzance, have given the nurses a chance to learn more about Cornwall - and audiences a chance to learn more about their lives.
