Career opportunities

Nursing is a vital role with healthcare services – nurses and midwives make up nearly half of the global health workforce.

There is high demand for nurses all over the world. Even before the pandemic, the World Health Organisation (WHO) reported that nurses and midwives accounted for more than 50% of the global shortage in health workers. In England alone, there's a need for more than 50,000 new nurses by 2024/5, according to the Health Foundation.
