🇬🇧 Top 5 Most Affordable Nursing Degrees in the UK

🩺👩🏻‍⚕️👨‍⚕️ Beyond Australia, the UK is one of the most viable destinations for Nepali students to study nursing. The application process and requirements are not much different - and in some cases even more lenient - compared to Australia.

High demand for nurses in the United Kingdom is cleanly summarised by below line from a report by the Health Foundation [UK]:

In December 2020, a report by the Health Foundation – Building the NHS Nursing Workforce in England – said the government will need to exceed its target of 50,000 new nurses in England by 2024/25 if it wants the NHS to fully recover from the coronavirus pandemic.

An article by the Nursing Times has the following to say about Nursing workforce crisis in the UK:

In the UK before the coronavirus pandemic, there was already a shortage of around 50,000 nurses, and still the healthcare system is nowhere near bridging that gap. In January 2021, a survey by Nursing Times indicated that 80% of nurses feel patient safety is compromised due to this severe staff shortage. While there has been a good increase in the number of nursing students starting courses during 2020, this will not alleviate the issue of a lack of qualified nurses now or in the medium term.

There is an urgent need for government and regulators to work with key global partners to build a sustainable model that meets recruitment challenges and provides qualified and competent staff. This will help ease the burden on our ailing NHS and protect our patients and communities.
