How 2 Come to the UK Video
This video was shot in the Philippines during the launch of my book (co-written with Charles Kelly): How 2 Come to the UK to Live, Work, Study or Visit.
The book went on to help thousands of people learn how apply to live in the UK, study in the UK or find a job in the UK.
Since the book was published there have been many changes to the UK Home Office immigration Rules, which is why we are working on a revised and fully updated version of the book!
Nurses (RGN/RMN) are once again in short supply in the UK. Right now, there are 20,000 nurse job vacancies in the UK NHS! Nurses and doctors are in short supply in UK hospitals and care homes, which is why LPP Framework agencies like Concept Care are recruiting nurses from overseas for the NHS this year in a number of countries: Romania, Bulgaria, Croatia, India, China, Finland, Latvia, Ireland, Spain, Portugal and the Philippines.

Happy Easter from Multi Cultural Britain
Cynthia Barker writes...Good morning from London!
Last working day of the week for most offices in the UK. Tomorrow is Good Friday, one of the most holy days in the Christian calender, and the start of the Easter weekend. Monday is also a public holiday in Britain so no work until Tuesday...yippee!
Did you know that the word holiday derives from Old English word hāligdæg -
Migrants from Eastern European countries, like Romania, observe Easter in their own Orthodox Christian calender, and this is also the time of the 'Passover' celebrated in the Jewish faith.
Britain is now a multi-cultural country and there are many other non-Christian religious festivals held throughout the year, for instance: Diwali (Hindu, Jain, Sikh), Eid (Muslim), Nirvana (Buddhist), Swaminarayan Jayanti (Hindu), Vaisakhi (Sikh) to name but a few.
Millions of Britons also enjoy the festivities on Chinese New Year, St Patrick's Day and, of course, St Valentines Day!
The Migrants Rights Network in Britain are trying to build support ' International Migrants Day', normally observed on 18 December.
On the streets of big cities in the UK you will see Churches alongside Mosques, Synagogues and Hindu Temples.
Britain has on the whole been an extremely tolerant place for immigrants, who have been coming to the UK for hundreds of years. As I said in the book "How 2 Come to the UK to Live, Work, Study or Visit", most immigrants came here with 'nothing to declare' except their brains, talent and a burning ambition to succeed.
And do they succeed! You bet they do! Migrants and their descendants make up a disproportionate percentage of millionaires and even billionaires in the UK (when you take into account their percentage of the overall population).
The children of first generation migrant families do better on average than locally born students, despite the fact that English is not their first language.
Migrants not only bring their skills and labour to the UK, they also have the energy and drive to go the extra mile. This 'energy' also helped build America, Canada, Hong Kong and Australia, where millions of British immigrants helped play their part too. I salute them all!
Wherever you are, and whatever your beliefs, I wish you a very happy Easter, Passover or just a good weekend ahead!
