Nurse Jobs London

The multiracial nature of London’s people makes it a lively and exciting place to work. London has a population of over 7 million people, with more than 300 languages spoken. It has a growing population with proportionately more young people than anywhere in the UK. In order to cater to London’s requirements for midwifery and neo natal nursing there are 27 separately managed NHS Maternity Services.

If you want to practice in London as a professional midwife or nurse, and you are trained outside the UK (whether in Europe, or beyond) you must register with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) of the United Kingdom. You need to have your education and training assessed by the NMC. You can also hire the services of a good nursing staffing agency which can help you in securing a good nursing job. You should be registered as a nurse in your home country and have a years’ experience in the profession. You also need to ensure that you have a visa or work permit before you finally set off for UK. If you want to explore opportunities for employment in London, either as a midwife or a neonatal nurse, don’t hesitate to contact the Local Supervising Authority Officer (LSA) Midwife for London. The LSA Officer for London is responsible for the statutory supervision of midwives throughout London. Therefore she has a unique overview of all maternity services in the capital.
Neonatal Nurses

Even though caring for neonates is a labor intensive exercise, the beatific smile on the face of a sleeping neonates is a reward in itself. Very often a Neonatal Nurse has to deal not only with neonates but also has to attend to his parents, siblings and the extended family.

To work in a Neonatal Unit in London city, you have to be a registered nurse or a registered midwife. In general if nurses or midwives are caring for babies in intensive or high dependency care they need to have post basic training. In order to progress in your career as a neonatology nurse, you will need to undertake post-registration courses, like the Neonatal Intensive Care and Advanced Neonatal Practice courses, which will give you a nationally recognized qualification. If you are a newly qualified nurse who is considering moving into this field, it is best to gain at least six months general nursing experience before applying for a neonatal nursing post. Of course if you are an overseas trained nurse or midwife, you need to have your NMC registration before you apply for a neonatal position. However you are likely to get credit for any previous experience in the field.
