International nurses needed for survey response

Published: 14 March 2013

Filipino, Indian and Vietnamese nurses working in the UK are being encouraged to complete an anonymous online questionnaire to help improve understanding of their experiences of work.

The research, commissioned by the International Labour Organization (ILO), will investigate the experiences of nurses recruited from overseas. Situated within the framework of the ILO’s Decent Work Across Borders project, the study explores nurses’ working experiences in the UK, with a specific focus on Indian, Filipino and Vietnamese-born nurses.

The RCN hopes the results of the questionnaire will improve understanding about the issues facing these nursing staff.
