Don’t panic—nurses are still in demand, and the NHS is very much hiring. If you’re a nurse currently working in a care home, an overseas applicant, or simply concerned about the recent news surrounding NHS England, this blog post is for you.

At Fortuwest International Training and Education, we’re here to break down the facts, cut through the confusion, and help you understand how these changes may affect your career—and how you can take advantage of new opportunities.

NHS is Still Hiring – Nurses Are Urgently Needed!

Despite alarming headlines and online speculation, the NHS is not cutting nursing jobs. In fact, the UK healthcare system is experiencing a continued shortage of qualified nurses, which means recruitment efforts are still going strong.

The NHS Long-Term Workforce Plan, launched in 2023, outlines the goal to recruit thousands of additional nurses over the coming years. International nurses and those working in UK care homes are still a critical part of this plan.

Understanding the NHS England Abolition

Let’s be clear: the abolition of NHS England is not the end of the NHS.

It is simply an organizational restructuring aimed at reducing unnecessary bureaucracy and improving service delivery. The goal is to streamline operations, ensure resources are used effectively, and improve care quality for patients.

What this means for nurses:

• Your job is safe – frontline positions, especially in nursing, are not being cut.
• Recruitment will continue – the need for skilled healthcare professionals remains high.
• Processes will improve – reducing red tape will benefit both staff and patients.

Pathways from Care Homes to NHS Roles

Many nurses working in care homes dream of moving into NHS hospital roles—and that pathway remains wide open.

Fortuwest International Training and Education supports nurses through this transition by connecting them with:

• Preceptorship programs to ease into NHS standards.
• Upskilling opportunities tailored to NHS expectations.
• Mentorship and career guidance to support long-term growth.

Whether you’re in the UK or abroad, now is a great time to take that next step in your nursing career.

The Future is Bright for Nurses in the UK

The demand for qualified nurses in the UK continues to rise due to an aging population, increased healthcare needs, and ongoing staff shortages.

While the NHS undergoes structural changes, nurses remain the backbone of the healthcare system. Opportunities for growth, training, and long-term careers are still very much available—and Fortuwest is here to help you make the most of them.
