Background:

  • Variations in employment terms for overseas nurses were identified across 15 trusts in Manchester.
  • Inconsistent pay scales and induction durations were observed, impacting foreign-trained nursing staff.
  • Existing induction programs ranged from a few days to several weeks, lacking standardization.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify and address disparities in the employment conditions of overseas nurses.
  • To develop a standardized induction program for internationally educated nurses.
  • To establish minimum standards for pay and training duration.
