Hospital gives nurses lessons in Black Country accents

5 Live In Short

Available for over a year

A hospital in Wolverhampton has been giving its nurses from mainland Europe lessons in understanding patients' accents. Many of New Cross Hospital's patients speak in the region's unique Black Country dialect - and may ask for a "nuss" or say "Ah bist?" Steve Pitts from Cradley, who sells t-shirts with Black Country phrases on them, gave Drive a few examples of words staff will have to learn. This clip is originally from Drive on October 30 2014.
