International recruitment hits record high with nurse leaders warning about sustainability of trend.
Nearly half of the new nurses and midwives registered to work in the UK in the past year have come from abroad.
Overall the numbers on the register, which also includes a small number of nursing associates, rose by nearly 26,500 to more than 758,000, the highest number ever. Nursing and Midwifery Council chief executive Andrea Sutcliffe said it was "good news" that the register was at the highest level ever, given the pressures of the past two years.
Royal College of Nursing general secretary Pat Cullen questioned the sustainability and ethics of such a level of recruitment from abroad, and called for increased investment in domestic training and better pay for staff.
