I’m Paul Hutton with news that doctors and nurses are abandoning the NHS to work abroad, with overseas recruiters targeting those unhappy with pay and conditions in the UK. Figures from the General Medical Council show the number of medics obtaining a certificate that allows them to work abroad has risen by 25 per cent in a year. Last year, there were 6,950 applications from UK doctors who are registered and licensed, up from 5,576 in 2021, with around a quarter targeting Australia. For more care news stay with us here at Care Radio.
