This week, the UK Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) has launched their new website.
It is supposed to make it easier for everyone to find relevant information.

I personally like the new site. The registration area certainly looks more user-friendly
On the Government front, the new Chancellor,Geoge Osbourne has just announced his first spending cuts for the UK.
According to The Times Online, he stressed that the “front line” of key services such as the NHS would be protected, and said that the longer-term effect of cuts would be to boost employment, rather than reduce it.
Let's hope we will see more opportunities and support for dedicated nurses and Healthcare professionals. Time will tell!

New Vetting and Barring Scheme - What does it mean?
From July 2010, people who apply to work with children or vulnerable adults will be able to start to apply for ISA registration (Independent Safeguard Authority) via the Criminal Record Bureau.
This will be a mandatory step from the 1st of November 2010 .
The registration will cost £64 but it is a one-off fee (the certificate will be valid if you change jobs).
According to the Government's website: "It’s the same process as the current system of getting a Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) check. You’ll be able to apply for an enhanced CRB check at the same time for no extra cost."
By July 2015, everyone who currently works with children or vulnerable adults will have to be registered under the new scheme.

New UK Government - Will it help Overseas Nurses?
What is the current situation?
Currently, only nurses on the skilled shortage list can be considered straight away for a sponsorship visa under the Tier 2 point system.
This means that it is difficult for non EU citizens to obtain a sponsorship visa (which replaced the old work permit).
The current Shortage List for nurses only includes the following:
•Operating Theatre Nurse
•Neonatal Intensive Care
If you are not specialised in Theatres or Neonatal Intensive care, you might get a Sponsorship Visa ONLY if a hospital can prove that they have unsuccessfully tried to recruit within the UK and EU first.
It is therefore very hard for Overseas Nurses to get a post in the UK.
Remember you have to get your NMC registration as well (see previous blog about the NMC registration process).
New Government - New rules?
Under David Cameron's new coalition government, it looks like skilled professionals will find it even more difficult to come to the UK.
A cap on UK immigration has already been announced.
It means the new government will put a limit on the number of non-EU people being allowed to live and work in the UK.
For now, all we can do is wait for further details on forthcoming policies.
You can read the first announced policies on the BBC News site HERE
