Untitled Worksheet
Introduction to NHS Recruitment and Migration
After the establishment of the NHS in 1948, there was a growing need for healthcare workers. Many migrants from former colonies and European countries came to the UK to work in hospitals and clinics. This migration helped fill shortages of doctors, nurses, and other healthcare staff, supporting the expansion of healthcare services.
