Campaign Aims to Help Indian-Trained Nurses to Overcome Barriers in the UK

It is a known fact that nurses who come through a nursing recruitment agency in India, or those who are pursuing care jobs or carers jobs are facing a lot of difficulty in the UK. if you come through a nurse agency then you will know how hard it can be sometimes to achieve the right level of registration when it comes to working in the UK, especially when you look at the fact that these same nurses have been living in the UK and even working here for several years. The nurses often do have the status of being a British citizen but it would seem that they are stuck in roles that they would be seen as being unregistered. They are also getting paid for things that do not match their skill set, as they are trained beyond this. The problem is that they are not able to pass the language tests that come with the various exams.

When you look at the general plight of the nurses, you will soon see that it is Dr Pradeep who is leading the charge. She is the coordinator when it comes to liver transplants and she is also a lecturer. She works at the University of Salford and she has been collaborating with Peter Mount. They know how difficult it is to find work in the UK and ever since language testing was introduced, it has been difficult for people to find the right kind of work. Although having a good understanding of the English language is imperative, it would seem that more needs to be done to try and make sure that people are given the right amount of support when you look at the reason why they are not passing the test in the first place.
