General election 2019: Plan to attract more NHS staff from abroad

The Conservatives say they will make it easier for doctors and nurses from around the world to work in the UK after Brexit, if they win the election.

The party would introduce an “NHS visa” as part of a promised “points-based immigration system”.

But Labour said the policy was “full of holes,” with nothing to say about low-paid nurses and other hospital staff.

And the Royal College of Nursing said “more ambitious” plans were needed to address NHS staffing shortages.

The Conservatives plan to end free movement of workers from EU countries when the UK leaves the EU – something they have promised will happen on 31 January if they are returned to power on 12 December.

The party would introduce a “points-based system” for migrant workers from EU and non-EU countries.

It has yet to spell out in detail how this will work – but it has announced that extra points will be awarded for coming to work in the NHS.

Living with dementia – what can you do to make life easier?

Dining room Dementia and how to change your house to make life easier

A house in the UK designed especially to help people with dementia is inspiring families, care-home owners and council workers to make changes to their own homes.

Lighter carpets and carefully chosen paint colours are just some of the tweaks that you can make which can keep people with dementia living independently for longer – saving both families and local authorities money in care fees.

Around the world, the number of people with dementia is increasing because people are living longer but dementia affects everyone differently.
