The Ministry of Labour, Employment and Social Security of Nepal and the
UK Department of Health and Social Care on Thursday launched a nursing
recruitment pilot that will enable the recruitment of Nepali nurses to the UK
National Health Service.
During the pilot, the UK will recruit up
to 100 nursing professionals into the NHS through a competitive recruitment
process, the British Embassy in Kathmandu and the Labour Ministry said in a
joint statement.
The recruitment is a pilot initiative using a
government-to-government process in which the Department of Foreign Employment
and the Hampshire Hospitals Foundation Trust of the UK shall undertake the
recruitment process.
As per the Memorandum of Understanding between
both the governments, no employer, recruitment or placement agency or any
entity shall engage in the recruitment process.
