Government announces Jamaican nurse recruitment partnership amid Windrush scandal The government has announced a recruitment drive to attract new NHS nurses from Jamaica despite the unfolding scandal over the deportation of Windrush generation Britons after decades in the UK.
In the second phase of “earn, learn, return” partnerships, Jamaican nurses will come to work in the NHS for a fixed term of around three years and then return with new skills and experience, the Government said.
The scheme is intended to increase the NHS workforce by 5,500 full time nurses and help address a record 34,000 unfilled nursing and midwifery posts across the health service in England. The Independent
