Concerns about the professional future of many workers in the uk. This is the case, the City, the financial centre of london. Following the announcement of the Brexit, banks have already announced – or achieved – a transfer of a part of their staff to other european markets. The british health system (NHS) may also be affected by the exit of the Uk from the european Union (EU).

The BBC has analyzed the evolution of the workforce of the NHS from 2015, and noted a disturbing trend. The foreign staff from the EU is reduced : the island attracts less and less, and the european residents are more likely to pack their bags.

The NHS is struggling to recruit

In 2015, 5.6% of staff leaving the NHS was represented by citizens of the EU. Since the beginning of the year 2017, they are 7.4 per cent. At the same time, Europeans are less likely to join the various health facilities. In two years, their proportion has decreased from 10 to 8 %.

“This analysis confirms now the anecdotes reported by our members, particularly in the South-East of the country, said Danny Mortimer, Cavendish Coalition, representing the health care organizations in the uk. Our members are struggling to recruit. “

This trend is even more marked among nurses, who accounted for 7.6% of the departures in 2015, and 11.5% in 2017. According to information from the BBC, some of the cells recruitment in Europe have even stopped their activities, because of the lack of response.
