<p>The independent Migration Advisory Committee (MAC) advises the Government on changes
to the Shortage Occupation List (SOL). The MAC has determined that a number of medical
professionals, including all nurses, paramedics and various doctors, including posts
in emergency medicine, clinical radiology and old age psychiatry, are in national
shortage and they appear on the published SOL in Appendix K of the Immigration Rules.</p><p>The
SOL sits under Tier 2, our main immigration route for non-EEA workers. Applications
for jobs on the SOL receive the highest priority – and the highest number of points
– when allocating a Tier 2 (General) place.</p><p>The SOL is kept under regular review,
with the most recent changes made to it last April.</p>
