Working in the UK 

In order to start working as a nurse or a midwife in the UK, you must first register with the Nursing and Midwifery Council, the NMC. Before the NMC can allow you to practice healthcare in the UK, they require you to pass a number of exams, including an English language proficiency exam. These are the IELTS or OET exams,which test your ability to read, write, listen and speak in English.  

 

Challenges  

Some nurses and midwives who want to work in the UK have never had formal English training and may be nervous about some of the sections of the exam. Others may be more confident in their English abilities but become stressed out and nervous when it comes to taking exams. Everyone has different needs and difficulties, and we aim to help everyone, no matter your current ability or background. We work with nurses and midwives across the world and we recognise the many challenges that you face. With your busy lives, we understand that learning a new language can be daunting.
