NHS Scotland recruits 191 nurses from overseas
Mr Yousaf said staff numbers were likely to increase significantly over the coming months as health boards take advantage of new infrastructure for employing qualified international staff."To help deal with winter pressures and pressure brought on by the current Covid wave, we are expanding and investing in our NHS workforce," the health secretary said.
The nurses - Shincy, Sonja, Yafika and Vidya - will now go through eight to 12 weeks of training to secure their UK NMC registration before they can fully practice.Shincy said: "On Saturday we were shown around Dumfries and met some lovely people from the Multicultural Association who kindly gave us a food parcel and a warm coat.About 156,000 whole-time equivalent staff were working for the health service in Scotland at the end of December, according to NHS Workforce statistics.
The Scottish government said it had provided £1m for the development of infrastructure for an ethical international recruitment system. She added: "Staff from across the world make up the backbone of our NHS, and I wish these new health professionals well as they settle in to their new homes. "Frontline staff have gone above and beyond during the pandemic but are beyond breaking point. Any additional staff is welcome for our health service, but we need to see more urgency from SNP ministers.
