The National Health Service (NHS) was set up in 1948 to provide everyone in the UK with healthcare based on their needs, and not on their ability to pay. The NHS is respected throughout the world for the standard of care it gives to patients.
To work in the UK, all overseas trained nurses must undertake an Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) to join the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) register.
For more information, see NMC, IELTS/ OET.
