Internationally educated nursing staff (IENs) are a vital part of the health and care workforce.
On #OverseasNHSWorkersDay, RCN President Bejoy Sebastian reflects on his own journey as an internationally educated nurse and highlights the importance of IENs across all settings. Watch below ⬇️
A poster encouraging people to write to their MP to demand they scrap the proposed changes to indefinite leave to remain. The poster is blue, with a white RCN logo at the bottom.
We are demanding that IENs working in all settings must continue to be eligible for Indefinite Leave to Remain after five years.
Whether you’re impacted by the changes or not, write to your MP today to demand the UK government scrap the proposed changes. bit.ly/45qa50U
