ROTHERHAM Hospital is to run a workshop for staff who want to find out more about Islam.
The half-day workshop - 1001 things you never dared ask about Islam - will be held later in the year.
It is designed to try and dispel some of the myths and stero-types which exist about the religion and give staff the opportunity to learn more ab
out it.
Hospital bosses say the workshop should help improve customer and patient care and employment practices.
A hospital spokesman said: "After Christians, Muslims are the next largest religious group in Rotherham. The course will provide staff with a generic framework within which they can come to understand Islam and Muslims better."
The workshop will also advise staff about the Religious Discrimination Act 2003 and its implications on patient care and employment practices.
