LONDON - Britain recruited a record number of international nurses in the last financial year to plug hospital staffing shortages, with as many as 10 per cent coming from so-called “red-list” countries where health staff should not be actively recruited.
The WHO has warned that poorer countries are increasingly losing healthcare workers to wealthier countries, and has flagged concern over active recruitment in some countries. Ms Caroline Waterfield, director of development and employment at NHS Employers, said hospital trusts and others who hire staff in England’s NHS have been told to work only with agencies that are accredited, vetted and not operating in red-list countries.The rules do not stop individuals based in red-list countries applying for jobs in Britain, and while an agency may not actively recruit them, community links to people already in the country might mean people apply more from certain countries.
