Earlier this month Wales’s Health Minister Mabon ap Gwynfor held a summit with health bosses, universities and professional bodies.<\/p>\n
A Welsh government spokesperson said it was “to find immediate solutions and prevent this from happening again and asked for actions from the summit to be rolled out nationally”.<\/p>\n
They said: “We know how disappointing it is for this year’s nursing, midwifery and paramedics graduates who haven’t secured the roles they worked so hard for.<\/p>\n
“We have asked Health Education and Improvement Wales to coordinate a national support offer, including a single point of access to ensure graduates remain supported and connected to emerging employment opportunities.”<\/p>\n
The Royal College of Paramedics said it expected to see similar recruitment freezes across the UK later this year.<\/p>\n
Earlier this year, the Royal College of Midwives said a survey of newly qualified midwives across all four nations found about a third had not secured a permanent role.<\/p>\n
Buchan said although it was “not fair to call it a national problem at the moment”, current workforce projections and data suggested it was likely to remain an issue requiring “policy responses across all four UK nations”.<\/p>\n
“Need is not being met, but the funding is not there to increase the workforce,” he said.<\/p>\n
The Department of Health and Social Care, has introduced a “Graduate Guarantee” for newly qualified nurses and midwives in England, after concerns there were 4,000 more nursing and midwifery graduates than vacancies.<\/p>\n
The Scottish government said it was developing an NHS job guarantee to all medicine, dentistry, nursing and other NHS profession graduates in Scotland.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Earlier this month Wales’s Health Minister Mabon ap Gwynfor held a summit with health bosses, universities and professional…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":532065,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[163,521,85,46],"class_list":["post-532064","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-healthcare","tag-health","tag-healthcare","tag-il","tag-israel"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/532064","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=532064"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/532064\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/532065"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=532064"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=532064"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=532064"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
