    More UK nurses and midwives leaving than joining profession - BBC News

    Why can't we decrease benefits and spend the money on training?

        buried in that article was this

        "A Department of Health spokeswoman said: "We are making sure we have the nurses we need to continue delivering world-class patient care - that's why there are almost 13,100 more on our wards since May 2010 and 52,000 in training."

        Which seems to imply a slightly more rosy future - well since the Tories got in and started to ruin and close the NHS anyway...

        Not sure what nurses get paid so cannot really comment on whether it is good or bad tbh.

          Do you mean working as nurses or just working using a nurse outfit?

            Whichever takes your fancy Brillo

            But on a serious note, more Filippino nurses here would be a great option if EU nurses don't want to come to the UK those from the Philippines would be more than grateful to come here.

              Why can't we train our own nurses?

                I don't think abolishing bursaries helped the cause mind, plus it's a hard job and many people don't want to do a job that's difficult

                  Still with fewer people coming into the country will require fewer nurses and less cost to the NHS. Triple win.

                    Indeed. Generation snowflake strikes. IMO benefits need to be cut.

                      Lets not also forget that we just screwed the crap out of the NHS agency market by hitting it with the largest IR35 stick that HMRC could find...

                      I'm not bloody surprised that the normal pool of NHS workers are choosing to do something else given that kick in the teeth.

                      Brexit has little to do with it.
