    Perhaps it's all those refugees bringing down the European average?

    That's where many British to-be nurses also go to get their training as there is a severe shortage of places in the UK. Once abroad, they tend to stay and work abroad once finished with their education. It is not only the UK that needs nurses, and they are paid 75% in places like Norway.

    Brexit has little to do with it.
    very good point.

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

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

    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.

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

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