Needless to say I got out.

The clampdown comes after a nurse who sat an NHS test in Manila in March told the Mail how the woman let candidates take pictures of the answers on their smartphones during a crucial exam to qualify for jobs at King’s. This was not witnessed by a recruitment team from London. The nurse added that applicants only had to provide photocopies of their qualifications when being selected for job interviews.

Omanfil has also helped recruit nurses for London’s Whittington Hospital and Addenbrooke’s Hospital, Cambridgeshire, and played a key role in the recruitment process for London’s University College Hospital – which is looking to recruit dozens of nurses from the Philippines.

Details of the cheating scam were revealed last month in the aftermath of the trial of suspected bogus nurse Chua, 49, originally from the Philippines, who was convicted of murdering two patients and poisoning 19 others at Stepping Hill Hospital in Stockport, Greater Manchester.

and I thought I was being too cynical.

Yet, if you are UK based - and you have a caution for getting too pi$$ed on a Saturday night 10 years back - and fail a DBSS check

Collateral Damage?

The Agency I had for my last NHS role contacted me last night to complete a 'phone survey'.

They said they had been asked to by NHS.

Had questions like:

- Did you carry out an IR35 assessment of the contract
- Have you paid all relevant PAYE and NI
- If requested would you ask your accountant to send us a copy of your accounts

Now I'm in IPSE+ but I don't know if that covers enquiries routed via Agency / Customer-ish bodies rather than HMRC?

All a bit rum.

Sorry to cut in on your conversation about nurses...
