United Kingdom needs more Filipino nurses


Here is another good news to Filipino nurses who wants to pursue their career in the United Kingdom.  According to PTV News, the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) amends the International English Language Testing System (IELTS) requirements for nurses and midwives coming on to the register from different countries, of course, including The Philippines.  Under the previous system, applicants had to achieve the IELTS Academic Test Level 7 in reading, writing, speaking and listening.

(WATCH:UK needs more Filipino nurses)



An academic IELTS score of 7.0 in each skill is one of the requirements for overseas registered nurses trained outside of the European Economic Area or European Union who are applying for registration with the UK’s Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC). 

However, with the relaxation of the required IELTS rating of 6.5 in one or two categories, theirs a big chance for nurses fo pass the computer-based test.

The IELTS is administered by the British Council in Manila.



Filipino nurses who want to work in the UK considered the IELTS as a stumbling block.

Philippine Labor Attache Joan Lavilla said nurses will be needed in the fields of cardiology, critical care, cardiac surgery, cardio thoracic, coronary care and catheter lab, and theater practitioners.

"The demand for Filipino nurses is expected to continue in the following months, given that most UK employers prefer to source nurses from the Philippines,” Lavilla said.
