Description
This letter introduces a strategy to assist NHS Boards in the recruitment and retention of Internationally Qualified Nurses (IQNs) into hard to fill posts. It does not conflict with recruitment and placement of newly qualified nurses. The strategy is aimed at helping NHS Boards identify IQNs and offers funding to cover educational costs and a 3 month supernumerary post for the IQN. It will provide practical help and support to the IQN to obtain registration with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) and subsequent employment.
