UK's HBS signs MoU with city-based nursing school for recruitment in UK

UK's Healthcare Business Solutions (HBS) has signed an MOU with the city-based Charnock Nursing Solutions (CNS) to recruit nurses from West Bengal and North East to meet the shortage of nurses and reduce the cost of healthcare operations.

The recruitment of nurses will be done for NHS, the publicly funded central healthcare providing body of UK. Mr Mark Fountain, CEO, HBS, today said, "With this move, NHS, the central healthcare providing body of UK, is able to reduce its operational costs as the local nursing agencies have been holding UK to ransom by charging exorbitantly." He said 70 per cent of NHS' expenditure was spent on the workforce, due to gaps in the demand and supply for skilled nurses, and added that by providing working opportunities to the nurses in India the shortage could be compensated.

The recruitment programme has been framed on 'Earn-Learn-Return' principle, Mr Fountain said, which will be beneficial to all the parties involved. He said, while the nurses could earn far more than they can do in India, they can also learn by gaining experience by work in one of the world's best healthcare systems and return money back to their families in India.

"As much as 90 per cent of the nurses have said they send 70 per cent of their income to their families in India, which has really helped in improving the lives of their families," he said.

Mr Fountain said upon recruitment the nurses can work as nurses, nurse leaders, nurse practitioners and nurse consultants in the UK. He said the qualified nurses could also be absorbed in any of the 270 health trusts in the UK, and also improve their chances of being hired and better packages in middle eastern countries.
