NHS Recruiting Non-EU Nurses For UK Job Vacancies

Cynthia Barker writes...Phew, what a long day! I'm exhausted but feel great that I have achieved something worthwhile.

Started the day with an early presentation with Concept Care's team at a London NHS Trust, which wants to recruit international nurses, midwives and AHP's (allied Health Professions). such as Physical Therapists and Occupational Therapists.

Interestingly, the NHS Trust has tried recruiting from the EU, but need more staff going forward and will look at employing non-EU nurses from countries such as India and the Philippines.

Went straight from the NHS recruitment presentation to the Philippine Embassy in Trafalgar Square where I met with the Labor Attache and Consul to discuss the POEA requirements for hiring overseas Filipino workers (OFW's) for UK jobs.

The embassy was, as usual, packed with OFW's applying for various documents while networking and watch TFC - The Filipino Channel in the reception!

Was asked by several people about NMC (Nursing and Midwifery Council) requirements for nursing in the UK, as well as what to do if someone has overstayed their visa.

Anyone with a nursing degree and 1 year's clinical practice who wants to work as a nurse in the UK should check my previous blog on NMC requirements for overseas nurses.

You will need an English language level of IELTS 7.00 if you are a non-EU nurse. EU nurses have no English language requirement!

Visa overstayers should book a consultation with an adviser to look at their options for regularising their stay in the UK.

I was in sunny London very close to Buckingham Palace where the Chinese Premier was visiting the Queen and David Cameron to discuss a multi-billion pound investment into the UK.
