No domestic quick fixes on workforce: we must secure overseas recruitment

No domestic quick fixes on workforce: we must secure overseas recruitment Uncertainty over international recruitment is threatening safe, high quality care for patients a major report by NHS Providers has warned.

There for us: a better future for the NHS workforce says there are no domestic “quick fixes” to the severe workforce shortages in the NHS, and that any significant reduction in the number of overseas staff in the next few years is likely to have a serious and damaging impact on services for the public.

The report criticises the slow, disjointed, response from the Department of Health and its arms-length bodies to the NHS’s growing workforce challenges. It calls for urgent steps to ease intolerable pressures on front line staff, and to develop an NHS workforce fit to meet the growing and changing needs of the population.
