UK calling Nurses

Is the UK really calling us?

As a job seeker, as a professional, as an aspirant, as a person planning to migrate to a great country, I or perhaps we have this fascinating doubt hammering our head once, twice and maybe always. Destination The UK is one of the best, in fact, one of the top 5 English speaking countries that every one of us would love to go, work and settle in. It brings us a great sense of pride, confidence, happiness, and excitement of just dreaming of being there in that country.

Why so? It’s simple because the UK provides you with a very high standard of living; it has a very high Human Development Index, good social security, better job security, immense job opportunities, access to the public funds, free children’s education and above all the wide acceptance of multiculturalism.

There are primarily two things that make the UK the most popular destination among the English speaking countries; Job Opportunity and Educational Institutions of very high international standards.

BREXITDilemma:

BREXIT is nothing but the planned exit of the UK from the European Union. There would be possible consequences of BREXIT after the given transition time till 31 Dec 2020. One among the many would be the one related to the employment as there is a prediction of mass displacement of active employees from the UK to their native country in/or the European Union.

The UK has already planned to bring in more stringent laws on immigration and engagement of foreign workers inside the UK along with sealing its border. In terms of jobs or employment opportunities, it would be focusing on bringing in only the skilled migrants and professionals under the in-demand occupations in priority. This is in accordance with the update given by the home office and the prime minister’s office. It is estimated that the city of London alone would have around 120000 vacant jobs of various capacity post Brexit.

Now, if you analyze and sum up all these developments, it is clearly visible that more and more opportunities would come up in the UK and the government will not compromise on the immigration procedures and security measures. 

Inference:

If we look at the statistics of the “Ondemand jobs”, there is a lot of scope for foreign or overseas migrants to fulfill the demand as the country is in short of these skilled workers. The NHS has a requirement in big numbers in the coming years and the demand varies from Nurses, Doctors to other allied health professionals. Hence the scope for overseas healthcare professionals, particularly the nursesis very bright.

Apart from this, the minimum annual salary cap for application of Permanent Residency in the UK has been reduced to 26600 GBP, which will also enable more foreign workers to apply.

Hence, it’s a BIG – YES… UK is calling.

Ireland: HSE imposing recruitment freeze due to ‘financial pressure in the system’

Starting next three months HSE (Health Service Executive) is initiating a recruitment freeze in the health service in an effort to manage costs. In a letter to senior HSE directors, the Deputy Director-General of the HSE, Liam Woods said the decision is based upon the financial pressure in the system arising from the high levels of recruitment in 2018, and the consequential impact in 2019 and the need to live within resources. The freeze on the recruitment of new posts will apply “until satisfactory financial plans (from the various hospital groups and CHOs) have been received, endorsed centrally and are demonstrating good evidence of traction”. It is not quite believable that in critical service areas where specialist staff may retire or leave, they now can’t be replaced, nor according to this letter can people on career break decide to come back over the next three months. Essentially they will have to wait until the budget situation improves, and overtime has been capped.

• Start your NMC Registration now. No more waiting until January!
• NMC approved the OET writing score to C+.
• NMC accepts C+ score in OET writing
• NMC eases the overseas nurses registration process
• Home Office Scrap English Test for Nurses

The Labor party’s health spokesman Alan Kelly obtained the letter and published it. He said that he thinks it’s ‘extraordinary‘ and ‘unacceptable‘ that the HSE is proposing a three-month recruitment and overtime ban, especially at a time, when he says, there is a ‘crisis‘ in the health service, particularly in acute areas and in community groups. Mr. Kelly said in many cases it is not comparing like with like, and some hospitals are being faced with financial backlogs that they are going to be penalized by more because financial controls were not implemented by the HSE in the first place.

Meanwhile, Minister of State Sean Canney, an independent TD in government, told RTÉ’s The Week in Politics said: “now is the time” that is appropriate for the HSE to step in to control recruitment and spending. “Each hospital group has to produce a recruitment strategy. Some have, some haven’t,” he said. This changing scenario in Ireland HSE recruitment casts a shadow over healthcare professionals aspiring to work in Ireland. Although countries like Australia, Canada, Italy are housing some of the highest-paid healthcare facilities it still is a never-ending process to reach these countries. Meanwhile, countries like the UK seem to loosen up their healthcare recruitment policies which are visible from the recent relaxations in IELTS scores and changes in NMC overseas registration fees and from last year overseas nurses will be able to work in the UK immediately after qualifying. which is not the scenario in other competent countries. Eventually, the UK is becoming the most desired job destination for healthcare professionals especially nurses all over the world.

UK IMMIGRATION HEALTH SURCHARGE WILL INCREASE TO £400 A YEAR FROM 8 JANUARY 2019

Following parliamentary approval in December 2018, the Immigration Health Surcharge will be doubled, effective 8 January 2019.

Brazil Argentina and world flags is flying

The surcharge will rise from £200 to £400 per year, with the discounted rate for students and those on the Youth Mobility Scheme increasing from £150 to £300. Migrants who make an application on or after 8 January 2019 will pay the new surcharge rate.

The Immigration Health Surcharge is paid by people from outside the European Economic Area (EEA) who are seeking to live in the UK for more than 6 months to work, study or join the family. It gives migrants access to the comprehensive range of NHS services without further charge, subject to a few exceptions such as prescription charges in England.

• Start your NMC Registration now. No more waiting until January!
• NMC approved the OET writing score to C+.
• NMC accepts C+ score in OET writing
• NMC eases the overseas nurses registration process
• Home Office Scrap English Test for Nurses

The surcharge levels remain competitive compared with health insurance requirements in comparable countries. For overseas students, the surcharge represents about 1% of the total cost of studying in the UK for a 3-year undergraduate course.

The new surcharge rate is intended to better reflect the costs to the NHS of treating those who pay it. The Department of Health and Social Care estimates that the NHS in England spends on average around £470 per surcharge payer every year. Their projections suggest that the increased charges may provide around an extra £220 million per year, with this money going straight back to NHS services.

The NMC-UK has come up with a change in the registration process flow with effect from 7th Oct 2019.

The NMC-UK has come up with a change in the registration process flow with effect from 7th Oct 2019.

NMC accepts C+ score in OET writing

We are delighted to share the good news from the Nursing Midwifery Council UK that, NMC has confirmed that they will consider lowering the OET writing score to C+ on the upcoming council meeting on the 27th of November 2019. Until now overseas nurses were required to score B in all modules of the OET exam, but under the new proposal, a C+ score in writing will be considered for NMC registration.

Envertiz Consultancy Ltd is UK’s # 1 ranking International Nurses Recruiting firm, had strongly believed that reducing the writing scores for OET & IELTS will benefit both Nursing professionals from across the world as well as the UK’s healthcare system which is suffering from a shortage of medical professionals. So an online petition was started about 9 months ago by Mr. Febin Cyriac, the Founder Director of Envertiz, to reduce the OET writing scores to C+. This petition gained massive support with more than 18,400 people signing it.

In response to the plea, the NMC on its latest update has quoted: “Following an extensive evidence gathering and analysis exercise with OET, we have agreed that the OET writing domain score requirement will change from a B (350-440) to a C+ (300-340). This will bring it in line with our requirement for IELTS test-takers, which is an overall score of 7, but with a minimum of 6.5 in the writing domain as of this year.”

Last year, based on a similar petition which also was started by Mr. Febin Cyriac, the NMC had lowered the writing score of IELTS to 6.5.

We at Envertiz, feel immensely happy for all the aspirant nursing professionals from around the world who are going to be benefited from this proposed change. We would like to thank all who supported this petition and our online campaigns in this regard. http://chng.it/kRczg6Pr

We will be keeping you updated on further updates on this shortly.

UK beyond Brexit, Migration and the MAC recommendations

The people across the world, who are really planning to migrate to the United Kingdom, are keeping their fingers crossed, anxious about the possibility of getting a chance, as the government of the UK is also working on the possible plans to promote migration of this overseas skilled workers into the UK. This will also greatly help the end beneficiaries – the people of the UK.

The home office said it would set out the details of what would be a “firmer and fairer new system” in the due course. The prime minister and the home secretary are working closely on these immigration reforms that would be implemented soon.

Currently, people from within the EU do not require a visa to work in the UK because they have the benefit of “freedom of movement”-although there are limits on claiming certain benefits. The EXIT of BRITAIN from the European Union has led to the stoppage of “freedom of movement” for the European Union citizens after a prescribed transition period. The transition period for leaving the European Union ends on December 31st, 2020.

To create and execute a safe and sound migration process to the UK, the government has set an independent Advisory Committee (MAC) which has eventually made a series of recommendations on how the new system should look from 2021.

• Start your NMC Registration now. No more waiting until January!
• NMC approved the OET writing score to C+.
• NMC accepts C+ score in OET writing
• NMC eases the overseas nurses registration process
• Home Office Scrap English Test for Nurses

Few of the recommendations are:

i) A point-based migration system which is similar to the Australian process currently in existence and working. Though UK point system is exactly same as that of the Australian system, the independent migration advisory committee [MAC] has rejected a full shift to an Australian points-based system, publishing detailed research which gives a picture of how a reformed immigration system might look after Brexit and the ending of freedom of movement for EU nationals.

ii) The committee has also recommended a mixed system, which would rely on a minimum salary threshold for those people who are coming to the UK with a job offer and point-based system for skilled workers coming to the UK without a job offer. If the government wants a point-based system it should only introduce it for skilled workers without a job offer, the committee concluded.

iii) Salary Threshold limits:

Currently the main way into the UK for non-EU migrants requires them to have a job. Skilled migrants who come to the UK to take up a job would be allowed earn (£25,600) £4,400 less than the current £30, 000 thresholds for non-EU workers, under the proposals. The committee has also recommended higher thresholds for more highly paid occupations.

The Effect on NHS and other Care setups:        

Across NHS hospitals, community and primary care settings, there are around 150,000 doctors in total and over 320,000 nurses and midwives. As per the new immigration system, the changes are also expected to reduce pressures on the NHS, schools and social housing, though they will increase pressure on social care groups. The Committee has recommended reducing the existing salary threshold to £25, 600 to make it easier for teachers, NHS employees and people at the start of their careers to qualify and migrate.
