The good news is that nursing vacancies have fallen to a new low in England... the not so good news is this reflects the success of foreign recruitment (new nurses from abroad has risen five-fold in the five years to 2023).
While we can now (at least) fill the vacancies, this does not reflect (yet) any surge in training our own nurses, but continues our reliance on poaching staff from other health systems (which is not a great strategy, really).
