UK calling Nurses


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.
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. 
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.

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.
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

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.
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.



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.
