Working as a nurse or midwife in the UK

All nurses and midwives who want to work in the UK must register with the NMC. NMC register consists of three parts.

• Nurses
• Midwives
• Specialist community public health nurses (SCPHN).

The nurse part of the register is divided into four fields of practice.

• Adult nursing   
• Mental health nursing       
• Learning disabilities nursing
• Children’s nursing.

You can apply to be on the nurses or midwife parts of the register, as long as you meet our standards. If you’ve trained as a general nurse, you should apply for registration with NMC as an adult nurse. If you want to register on more than one part of the register or field of practice, you should apply for each part/field at the same time. Once you’re registered, you can work in the National Health Service (NHS) or private health care.

Overseas Nursing JOB IN UK

The nursing profession continues to face shortages due to lack of potential educators, high turnover, and inequitable distribution of the workforce. The causes related to the nursing shortage are numerous and issues of concern.

The NHS still needs 43,000 more nurses to meet patient demand in England, according to a new report. Although the overall numbers of nurses working in the NHS in England increased by five per cent between 2010 and 2019, there are still not enough.

The UK is a very popular place to settle in permanently and a terrific location to start a family. There is an excellent public schooling system, free healthcare to all UK citizens and plenty of support for families in need. Whether you choose to settle in England, Scotland, Northern Ireland or Wales, the United Kingdom truly has something to suit every background​.

Your dependents can travel with you when you come to the UK or at any time after that. Since you are coming to the UK as a pre-registered nurse most of the employers recommend bringing your family after passing the OSCE examination or maybe a few months after you arrive. This is to promote a safe settlement.
