A STEP BY STEP PROCESS ON HOW TO BECOME A NURSE IN THE UK.

by Dynamic Health Staff | Posted on June 3, 2020February 28, 2023

Are you a nurse from South East Asia looking to relocate to the UK? With tens of
thousands of vacant nursing jobs in the UK, both in the NHS (National Health
Systems) and at private hospitals – the opportunities for nurses in the UK are
aplenty. But, before you can land your dream jo, there are several steps to be
followed.

Here, in this blog post, we walk you through the various steps you need to do
before you can start working as a nurse in the UK. By the time you finish
reading this post; you’ll have a clear idea of what you should do to become a
nurse in the UK and how to do it, to land your dream job. Buckle up, and let’s
take the first step in making your UK relocation dream come true.

Before you begin your overseas application as a nurse, you must meet the
following requirements:

 1. Hold a valid nursing degree/diploma from a certified institution in India.
 2. Hole a current nursing license or nursing registration without any
    restrictions.
 3. Meet the required English language eligibility requirements.


OVERVIEW OF ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS FOR INDIAN NURSES TO WORK WITHIN THE NHS IN
THE UK



To be eligible for working as a nurse within the NHS, you have to first obtain
an NMC (Nursing and Midwifery Council) registration. To obtain this
registration, from anywhere outside the EU (European Union), you have to show
proof of your English language skills by taking the IELTS or OET Test. The next
step is to show evidence of your knowledge and skills by taking the CBT
(Computer Based Training) and OSCE (Objective Structured Clinical Examination).

Note that, the CBT can be taken from India, while the OSCE can be taken only
from the UK, as the exam centres are located only in the UK. The Tier 2 visa
process was changed in March 2015 to allow nurses to enter the UK before taking
the OSCE. This means, once you have completed the registration with the NMC and
completed the other steps, you can start working as a nurse/healthcare assistant
in the NHS. You are given three months in the UK, before taking the OSCE.

Now, that you get the overview of the steps involved, let’s take a closer look
at the eligibility requirements of each step.


STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE TO WORK WITHIN THE NHS AS A NURSE IN THE UK


STEP 1: OBTAIN THE QUALIFICATIONS NEEDED FOR NMC REGISTRATION

To be eligible for NMC registration, you have to demonstrate the following:

1. ENGLISH LANGUAGE SKILLS

Via any one of the following methods:

 * The IELTS – a minimum score of 7 in each component and an overall score of 7
   or more
 * The OET – A minimum grade B in each component
 * Previous registration and practice (of at least one year) at a country where
   English is the native language, and that required an English language
   assessment for registration

For many nursing aspirants, clearing the English language eligibility
requirements is a major hurdle. This is why, here at Dynamic Health Staff, we
offer regular, weekend, and online OET training under the guidance of experts
and mentorship by nurses, practicing in the UK. Register for our OET training
courses and polish up your English language skills and ace the test with ease.

2. SUBJECT KNOWLEDGE AND ASSOCIATED SKILLS

Via the

 * CBT (Computer Based Training)

The CBT is an online exam that tests your knowledge and skills as a nurse. It
has a total of 140 MCQ (Multiple-choice Questions). There are several centres
where you can take the CBT. All questions are marked either as correct or
incorrect, and there are no partial marks for a question. Of the 140 MCQ, a few
are considered critical, and the applicant must get the critical questions right
to qualify the test. The critical questions are related to patient and public
safety.


STEP 2: APPLY FOR PRE-REGISTRATION AS A NURSE/HEALTHCARE ASSISTANT POSTS WITHIN
THE NHS

Once you have cleared the IELTS/OET Test and nursing competency tests, you are
eligible to apply for the pre-registration nurse/healthcare assistant posts. You
need to provide a CV and resume for this step.



You have to pay the registration fee and upload the required documents –
passport copy, birth certificate, proof of qualifications, and police clearance
in the portal. Additionally, you have to courier the following documents to the
NMC’s office in the UK – employee references, transcript of your nursing
training, declaration of good health from a certified GP, and verification from
your nursing school.

All documents have to be bar-coded, and you can download the bar-code from the
NMC portal. Once the NMC receives your documents, it will be uploaded to the
portal (usually takes around 15 days).

The NMC verifies your documents and then issues a decision letter along with
your posting in a hospital within the NHS. This step is the longest and can take
anywhere from around 40 – 60 working days.

Again, our experienced staff at Dynamic Health Staff can help you with this
step. Email your resume to us at training@dynamichealthstaff.com, and we’ll help
you out.


STEP 3: TIER 2 VISA APPLICATION

Once you complete step 2, you are likely to get offers for vacant nursing jobs
in the UK. After passing the interviews, the hospital you have been selected for
will grant you the CoS (Certificate of Sponsorship) that is issued by the UK
government. Once you receive the CoS, you can start the tier 2 visa application
process. The tier 2 visa is the visa that allows skilled workers with a job
offer to immigrate to the UK.

STEP 4: ARRIVE IN THE UK AND TAKE THE OSCE

Once your visa has been approved, you can pack your bags and leave for the UK,
to take up the job offered. However, remember that you have to take the OSCE
within three months of starting the job. If you don’t clear the OSCE on the
first attempt, you have to retake the exam within a maximum of eight months,
from the starting date of your visa. You can retake the OSCE for a maximum of
three times.

The OSCE is offered in the following locations in the UK:

 * Oxford Brookes University
 * University of Northampton
 * Ulster University, Northern Ireland


STEP 5: THE FINAL STEP – IDENTIFICATION VERIFICATION

You’ve come to the final step. Once you clear the OSCE, you will be invited for
a face-to-face identification verification interview. This interview is usually
held on the same day as the OSCE exam. During this interview, you will be asked
to submit original copies of all the required verification documents. Previously
during the registration process (step 2), you would have submitted only the
copies of the required documents.

Candidates travelling to UK

Once you complete the identification verification, you are successfully
registered as a nurse in the NMC (Nursing and Midwifery Council), UK. You will
be issued an NMC pin, which qualifies you to continue working as a nurse within
the NHS.

That’s it. These are the five steps that you have to complete before you can
start working as a nurse in the UK. If you are looking for nursing jobs in the
UK, let us help you find the best suitable position for you. Get in touch with
our team, and we’ll help you land your dream healthcare job in the UK.
