NHS scales back international nurse recruitment

UK · Workforce · June 2026

NMC data shows fewer overseas nurses joining the UK register as the NHS shifts investment toward domestic training and retention.

Demand has not disappeared — it has moved, with strong opportunities in the private sector and in other markets such as Australia, Ireland and the Gulf.

Ava Medical helps nurses find where the demand is, and matches them to roles that fit their goals.
