When my husband was in hopsital recently, we both struggled to understand what the staff nurse was saying because of his broken English and strong accent. No reason why we can’t train more British people to be nurses and doctors. Germany has v few non-German heath workers

Yes we should be training more BUT less people are applying for training and we are struggling now! Hence having to go overseas to recruit...Nursing needs to be more attractive as a career..

The govt limits the number of Brits who can train as nurses and doctors. That’s why we have a shortage. It’s insane.
