Credential & English-proficiency verification platform for foreign healthcare staff

The reaction from NHS staff to me raising concerns about the language skills/competence of foreign nationals working in hospitals has been astounding. This is a national scandal, hidden because people are scared of being called racist. I don’t care about that - let’s have it out. I am going to do everything in my power to push for change, with ministers and civil servants. But actually, the most important step for now is to openly highlight it. We’ve accepted countless workers who are not up to the job - from Nigeria, the Philippines and many other countries. Particularly in regard to a complete inability to communicate in the English language. Not racist. Fact. I have deep concerns about the qualifications some of these individuals are claiming to have, and have seen concerning evidence about the lack of proper checks on supposed experience/ability. I want to thank all of those NHS staff who have reached out. It is appreciated. I am taking your concerns to Parliament and am dragging them into the light.

@RupertLowe10 I’m sick of the awful standard of English everywhere I go nowadays in the UK. I never used to notice this, now it’s essentially normal to encounter service workers who are barely understandable. When did any of us choose this?
