Utopia Talk / Politics / EU nurses work in UK plummets by 96%

Neverwoods Member	Thu Jun 22 14:54:52 Brexit: Number of EU nurses applying to work in UK plummets by 96%, show figures http://www...ght-leave-europe-a7785511.html This is rather worrying. M
Neverwoods Member	Thu Jun 22 14:56:18 "“Clearly action is needed to offset any further loss of EU nursing staff in the near future,” she said. “But the overall shortage of 30,000 nurses is not a shortage caused by the Brexit vote." It might not all be connected to brexit, but sure as hell it's not helping the situation.

Neverwoods Member	Thu Jun 22 15:35:39 Schools are getting a hefty cuts and so are nurses. I those are prio 1 and 2, when it comes to building a healthy society. Perhaps it was never enough for UK to cut their feet's off from Brexit, they are somehow managing to cut of their hands too.
Dukhat Member	Thu Jun 22 18:14:13 Don't worry. You can take some of those 50-year-old white guys who voted en masse for brexit and retrain them now to be nurses. I'm only partially kidding. Every country needs to do a better job retraining displaced workers.
Nimatzo iChihuaha	Fri Jun 23 03:10:44 Had a discussion with someone along that vein about the erosions of manufacturing jobs. How would old working class men fair working in retirement homes? Not a lot of people skills there I assure you, having spent 10 years in that sector, you are better off buying Japanese care taker robots!
TJ Member	Fri Jun 23 10:12:56 The US is also experiencing a nursing shortage. The aging populations will create a major crisis in the medical fields. The link below provides in great detail many of the problems if interested reading. I imagine it is a huge roadblock toward health care reform. http://www...16/02/nursing-shortage/459741/

TJ Member	Fri Jun 23 13:35:26 It appears to be a global problem. Countries are recruiting from Canada to repair structural deficiencies. oops... OTTAWA - Canada is in danger of losing huge numbers of nurses to other countries as provincial governments struggle to slash deficits by freezing or cutting their jobs, nursing advocates say. "We are very concerned that nurses are actually going to the (United) States," said Linda Haslam-Stroud, president of the Ontario Nurses Association. "The States have many recruiters up here on a monthly basis." Health experts warn Canada could face a repeat of the 1990s, when health-care cuts by the provinces drove as many as 27,000 nurses to the U.S. alone to look for work. "The '90s were quite bleak," said Patrick O'Byrne, assistant professor in the faculty of health sciences' school of nursing at the University of Ottawa. On the one hand, it's a problem of globalization, says Gyslaine Desrosiers, president of the Quebec Order of Nurses. "There are global shortages of nurses and all countries are competing for them." QMI Agency revealed this week that up to 250 Quebec nurses are working in a single university hospital in Lausanne, Switzerland. And worsening the outflow, nurses are a target of job freezes in some provinces as governments struggle with deficits. http://www...anada/2010/03/20/13303221.html
Pillz Member	Sat Jun 24 23:21:08 So what's the problem? We should be training more nurses if that's the case and pay them better. Exporting workers isn't bad. Importihg them is, which we do and shouldn't. The entire system needs to come down and be rebuilt meticulously.
TJ Member	Sat Jun 24 23:46:10 Clearly what should be done is not being done. That seems to be the problem. So we seem to agree.
