Norfolk and Waveney ICB have set up an international recruitment hub online to help individuals with the process, including: Arriving in the UK, getting to know the local area, and settling into the role.

He now works for the international recruitment team at NHS England South East (SE) Region - part of the nursing workforce team, in the nursing directorate. In 2021, the SE Region developed an 18-month fellowship programme for internationally-educated healthcare professionals (considered experts by experience in the field) to work with the regional team. The programme focused on the personal and professional development of the fellows, as well as hearing their voices to improve the experience of colleagues.
