Part 2
Apologies for not posting as promised in our first part. We wanted to do a little more research before posting. Today we will tackle what a nurse who has been trained outside of the United Kingdom needs in order to work here.

The journey first begins by you realising that your dream is work and live in the United Kingdom. Why? Simply because it is one of the most beautiful countries in the world . From the streets, museums and Art galleries of london to the sand beaches of portrush in northern ireland. From the beautiful castles in Edinburgh to the beautiful geographical landscape in Wales. The United Kingdom is simply a beautiful country to live in.

The prerequisite to the whole jounery is that one must have qualified as a registered nurse in the country they are living in. They should be holders of either a nursing diploma or higher and be holders of a nursing practice licence.

The second requirement is to have the academic module of the English language test known as IELTS UKVI. IELTS stand for International English Language Testing System. One must achieve atleast a score of 7 in reading, listening and speaking, and atleast 6.5 for writting. The alterantive to IELTS is OET (Occupational English Test). One needs to score atleast a B in reading, listening and speaking and atleast a C writting.

After achieving the IELTS or OET scores required. The next step is to take a computer based test.(CBT). The CBT includes items written at various cognitive levels, which are designed to test your knowledge, comprehension, application, analysis, synthesis and evaluation of professional nursing and midwifery practice.An applicant must score at least 68% in overall aggregate of both Part A and Part B. For Part A out of 15 questions, 14 are to be answered correctly i.e., 90% passing score is necessary.

After passing all these tests, the next step is to apply to be registered with the Nursing and Midwifery Council. The Nursing and Midwifery Council is the regulator for nursing and midwifery professions in the UK. The NMC maintains a register of all nurses, midwives and specialist community public health nurses and nursing associates eligible to practise within the UK.

Once all this is done. One has to apply for a Visa. The next article will cover what comes after the visa application.

Over the coming next number of days and weeks, we will be looking at what its means for both the individual candidate and the recruiter when the UK government puts a country on the red list for health workers. Many people have in-boxed me because they are worried, specifically those who are living in countries that have been placed on the red list by the United Kingdom government. Today we will only address the countries on the Red list . The follow up articles will then focus on what foreign health workers whose desire is to work in UK need to have and the procedures they must go through in order to be successful.

The UK government’s red list is based on the 2020 World Health Organisation (WHO) Health Workforce Support and Safeguard List. This list identifies countries that are experiencing critical shortages of health workers, which could impact their ability to provide essential healthcare services to their populations. It does not mean countries placed on list have poorly trained personnel. It simply means that the ratio of health care workers to the population in that country is uneven. The population is large compared to the number of health care workers. The movement of health care workers going out of such a country has to be managed so that the larger population is not disadvantaged.

WHAT IT MEANS FOR THE INDIVIDUAL
This means an individual living in a red listed country can still apply to the NHS or any health care provider who has a vacancy. The individual can also have interviews with the prospective employers and do all necessary procedures to get employed. Should the prospective employer need the help of an agency , then they contact the agency with clear instruction on which areas they need help with.

WHAT IT MEANS FOR THE AGENCIES
Agencies are not allowed to actively recruit in red listed countries. This means agencies should not carry out any recruitment activities in these countries. Should an individual reach out to an agency for help, the agency is mandated to direct that individual to a job board that might have a vacancy for them.

For clarification inbox us and we will try to help as much as we can. The next chapter will be posted on Friday.
