More than 100 professionals from India are set to be recruited by the UK’s National Health Service (NHS) Trust that runs the York and Scarborough Hospitals to fill the shortage of health workers there.

According to The Scarborough News, the York and Scarborough Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust has made offers to 107 medical staff, including 97 registered nurses and 10 allied health professionals, following a recruitment trip to Kerala.

“The Trust has started the process to bid for NHS England funding to support international nursing recruitment between April – November 2023 and has indicated a target of 90 international nurses which could generate 450,000 pounds in funding,” members of the trust’s board of directors were told.
