GPs

The Academy’s role is one of coordination between its member colleges and faculties to help ensure consistency across all the specialities. While there are many official bodies which have oversight over patient care and the way doctors treat patients, the Academy too plays a crucial role in making sure that these standards are maintained and we all get the healthcare we deserve.

As employers focus on growing and sustaining ethical recruitment pipelines for internationally recruited staff, it is equally important that we retain as much of this workforce as possible. The Nursing and Midwifery Council’s (NMC) data report for 2021–2022 shows that almost half ofprofessionals joining the NMC register were trained outside the UK. However, a UK systematic review suggests international nurses face challenges in integrating into their roles when recruited to work in the UK. These challenges are not exclusive to your international nurses and maybe experienced by other international staff groups in your workforce.

Based on a framework of four pillars, this toolkit brings information, best practice examples and resources together in one place and focuses on what organisations, systems and regions are already doing to create the conditions for all international staff to thrive in the NHS. The end of each section provides an opportunity to reflect on what you have read and consider how you or your team will play your part.

This resource has been produced by NHS Employers, in collaboration with NHS England, employers, staff and stakeholders from across the sector.

You can access the Toolkit here.
