The state will help find qualified nurses, doctors and paramedics from private sectors in the state find jobs in hospitals in the United Kingdom through their national health system (NHS).
The Overseas Manpower Corporation Limited (OMC) of the state government has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Health Education England to recruit qualified nurses under their National Health Service (NHS). The MoU was signed two weeks ago.
The initiative of the OMC is aimed at generating employment and creating opportunities for Tamil Nadu nurses to undergo training in state of the art healthcare facilities. When these nurses return to the state after their service, they would highly trained and add value to the healthcare system of the state, officials say.
“There is a huge demand for qualified nurses in the UK. They are recruiting around 5,000 nurses every year. We want to generate employment for nurses working in the private sector. It resulted in the MoU that will be effective for three years,” said chairman and managing director of OMCL, Dharmendra Pratap Yadav. Many nurses working in the private sector apply for jobs in hospitals abroad as they get better salaries and training.
OMCL will send at least 500 nurses every year. “We are also planning to recruit doctors and paramedics from the private sector and send them to the UK,” he added.
The agency has tiedup with the British Council in Chennai for training the nurses, who have been shortlisted for grade 7 of International English Language Testing System (IELTS). “Language is a barrier for several qualified nurses working here. So, we conduct an interview to select candidates, who are able to converse in English. They will be registered for the IELTS course. It will be offered free of cost,” he said.
After they clear the IELTS test and the computer-based test, they would be appointed in various hospitals in the UK through the NHS. The state health the department has also contemplating to ink a pact with HEE to commence an exchange programme, which would help the doctors and nurses in the government sector to work in the UK and get exposure to the international standard of healthcare. In October last year, a team of HEE visited TN and held meeting with the health department officials.
