There is a high demand for nursing professionals in the UK. They offer work as per the individual’s specialization and location preferences. You can get all the information about nursing jobs in the UK for Indian nurses. The nurses who have completed their training from outside the European Union require registration with the nursing and midwifery council (NMC) to work as a nurse in the UK. These nurses can get employment under tier 2 or general work visa arrangements. Nurses who are trained outside the UK or EEA can apply to register with NMC. Then, the NMC will compare your training with their requirement in the UK. However, registration with NMC does not guarantee or provide the right to work for the UK.
