Best International Recruitment Experience
Overseas nurses strengthen our domestic workforce, bringing a wealth of experience and diversity that requires significant personal and financial investment. This award aims to recognise an organisation’s strategic approach to the improvement of overseas nurses’ and midwives’ experience of recruitment to the UK.
