Nurse vacancies in the NHS across the United Kingdom are up again, this time by 10%, according to a recent article in the Nursing Times.
A total number of 43,619 more nurses are needed, with London the region most in need, and the Midlands having the highest increase in vacancies, in comparison to this time last year. Across the 43,619 vacancies, almost 13,000 are in the mental health sector, which like most figures across the industry, is an increase from last year.
Over 2,000 more community nurses are required, as well as over 1,000 specialist nurses. The vast majority of vacancies are in the acute sector, with almost 27,000 more needed.
A positive from the recent data was that the North West have less vacancies than this time last year, the only region across England to achieve this.
My experience with Medilells has been nothing short of excellent. The staff were friendly and highly involved throughout the whole process, with feedback from the employer being communicated to me immediately. I am on my second month and really am happy! I would recommend anyone looking for a job to Medilells because of their professionalism as well as their friendly approach to recruitment.
We have found Medilells able to deliver every time after discussing our needs with them. They take care in finding out the finer details of the role which enables them to send across candidates that we are confident will meet the demands of our environment.
