International Recruitment

Our international staff make a vital contribution to the care of our patients and the culture here at West Herts. We are proud to work with hundreds of staff from over 70 countries.

Our dedicated team supports our international applicants to transfer their qualifications and skills to the United Kingdom.

Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) is a test of competence for international nurses who have not trained in the EU before they are registered with the NMC. Currently, we facilitate OSCE training in Hemel Hempstead General Hospital with the facilities necessary to prepare the Transitional Nurses for their exam.

If you are a qualified nurse from outside the European Union and have started your NMC process (eg. passed CBT and IELTS), please contact the recruitment team at westherts.recruitment@nhs.net to find out more information.
