Rejected petition End Modern Slavery for International Qualified Care Workers in Nursing Homes

We call on Parliament to pass a law allowing international nurses working in UK nursing homes for three or more years as healthcare assistants, who have completed CBT and OSCE qualifications, to be eligible for NMC registration without requiring the SIFE document.

More details

Qualified international healthcare workers in UK nursing homes face exploitation.
Under Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) rules, international nurses can register as qualified nurses if their managers provide a Supporting Information from Employer (SIFE) document.
Many employers refuse to issue this certificate due to the low wages paid to qualified and experienced nurses working as healthcare assistants.
This practice blocks career advancement and perpetuates modern slavery-like conditions.
