Why do so many nurses from overseas plan to quit the UK?
A survey of thousands of nurses and support staff who immigrated to the UK to work suggests many are planning to leave, and not always to return to their home countries. This interactive infographic article explores how many may be intending to quit the UK and the push factors they cite, including pay and workload, immigration restrictions and racism. Nurses explain in their own words the impact of these pressures on their ability and desire to remain – or not – working for the NHS and social care in the UK. Latest Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) data reveal how many nurses educated overseas are joining, or leaving, the UK nursing register.
