<p>The Government recognises the need for the National Health Service to be able to
continue to recruit effectively from abroad when freedom of movement ends. The Immigration
White Paper, ‘The UK’s future skills-based immigration system’, published in December
2018, sets out the foundation for a single immigration system, where it is workers’
skills that matter, not where they come from. This system will remove the cap on skilled
migrants, abolish the requirement to undertake a Resident Labour Market Test and significantly
improve the timeliness of being able to apply for a visa.</p><p>Additionally, legislation
introduced on 7 March 2019 means health and care professionals with professional qualifications
from European Union and Swiss institutions who are currently registered can continue
to practise in the United Kingdom as they do now, guaranteeing their ability to work
in the NHS.</p><p> </p>
