We urge all UK political parties to end this race to the bottom and instead celebrate the contribution of those from overseas.
Without brilliant migrant nursing staff, our health & care services would cease to function.

Brilliant statement by @nuffieldtrust.bsky.social, starting with recognizing the human cost associated with abolishing NHSE. I know so many brilliant and dedicated NHSE staff who work tirelessly for patient safety and improved outcomes
