Since the COVID-19 pandemic and with an aging population and the fact that modern-day Britons are living longer, the demand for care is increasing. Many of today’s nursing staff—including faculty responsible for training new nurses—are leaving the industry (due to retirement, burnout, or other factors), and there aren’t enough new nurses entering the workforce to fill those roles.
Employing international nurses—talented nurses ready to start work immediately—is an excellent way to supplement and support your current nursing staff, bridge the shortage, and help reduce staff burnout.
Oppvia’s international nurses meet the same high standards required by the U.K.’s nursing schools, ensuring continuity of patient care. International nursing attracts individuals who are committed to making a difference, thrive on professional opportunity, and are willing to go where they are most needed.
With Oppvia’s direct-hire candidates, staff turnover can be as much as four times lower compared to the industry average. This exceptional retention rate fosters consistency within your nursing team and leads to improved staff collaboration and patient care. It’s a mutually beneficial outcome for both the hospital and the nurse! Additionally, with Oppvia, nurses commit to at least a three-year contract with your organisation.
International nursing placements complement local hospital staff, benefiting the hospital, patients, and community. Having a multilingual, multicultural staff enhances communication with patients, breaks down language barriers, and introduces diverse cultural practices and beliefs. The presence of nurses from other countries fosters transnational connections and partnerships.
