Brexit: European nurses don’t want to work for NHS, report suggests
Brexit-induced migratory hurdles and poor wages have made Britain an unattractive destination for Europe’s nurses.
The number of EU and EFTA nurses in the UK has decreased by 28 per cent from 38,992 in September 2106 to 28,007 in September 2021, forcing the NHS to recruit from ‘red list’ countries to meet staff shortages, a report from Nuffield Trust suggests.
“Before the EU referendum, the UK heavily relied on EU staff. Now we can’t get the same people due to free movement restrictions,” Mark Dayan, Brexit programme leader and author of the paper told CityAM.
Despite, the growth in international assistance, NHS digital estimated that as of June there were 46,828 nursing vacancies in England alone, with the UK’s nurse-to-patient standing at 8.7 nurses per 1,000 patients – similar to that of Russia and Lithuania.
