In February, NMB partnered with the HSE Talent Attraction and Engagement Team (TAE) and the Office of the Nursing and Midwifery Services Director (ONMSD) to deliver an online information webinar for nursing and midwifery students studying in Great Britain.

The session aimed to support students considering employment in the Republic of Ireland by providing clear, practical guidance on professional registration and career pathways. NMBI outlined the recognition of UK qualifications, the registration process, and the steps required for graduate applicants seeking entry onto the NMBI Register. The HSE and ONMSD also shared information on career opportunities, workforce supports and transition resources for newly qualified practitioners.

Post‑event survey feedback, based on 30 responses, showed a strong level of interest in working in Ireland following graduation, with most respondents indicating Ireland as a potential destination for their early professional careers.

The survey also revealed that many students prioritise safe staffing, structured preceptorship, clear salary scales, and transparent recruitment pathways, underlining the importance of early, accurate information for internationally mobile graduates.
