104 Identifying EEA Doctors and Nurses in the UK NHS. European Health Forum Gastein 2001 The policy framework that underpins the movement of health care professionals has been defined. The next question, therefore, is to what extent are people moving ? Previous studies on labour mobility (Buchan, Seccombe and Ball, 1992, Hurwitz, 1990) are rare. The lack of previous research into labour mobility among healthcare professionals in Europe is not surprising when considering the inherent challenges in doing so. Investigations for this study support earlier observations, (McKee, 1993), that there is little systematic collection of the numbers of people moving throughout the EU. Comprehensive and consistent national data on the number of EEA qualified doctors in the UK and, importantly for workforce planners, their whereabouts, is missing.

Forum III: Health and the Single European Market Figure 2 supports data from the GMC that the numbers of EEA doctors coming to the UK are in decline (a total decline in England by 227 between 1996 and 1997). A shift in the profile of doctors between grades is also evident. For example, there has been a rise in the number of EEA doctors at Consultant or Specialist/Senior Registrar grade; and, a decline in the number at Registrar grade. Importantly, there is also a decline in the number of EEA doctors at SHO and HO grades. Traditionally, EEA doctors embark on training programmes in the NHS at SHO grade. This is where the greatest decline in the number of EEA doctors practising is seen - a decline in number of 207. The number of UK SHOs has, however, increased between 1996-7 by 330. The mobility of nurses can, at present, only be traced at a national level. No systematic data collection takes place at regional or local level and even if Trusts record country of origin, there is no consistency across different organisations. Thus, we only present national level data here. Table 2: Initial registration of nurses and midwives. Year EU countries Other countries Overseas total 94/95 798 1,654 2,452 95/96 763 1,999 2,762 96/97 1,141 2,633 3,744 97/98 1,439 2,861 4,300 98/99 1,412 3,568 4,980 99/00 1,416 5,945 7,361 Source: UKCC press release, 14/6/00 Table 2 demonstrates the rise in EU nurses in 1996, with a more modest increase in 1997 and then the levelling off of this trend. In contrast, the rise of nurses from other countries, notably South Africa, Australia, Philippines and the West Indies has been considerable. Buchan (2000) argues that this differential rise is due to the importance of communication with patients, advantaging staff from English-speaking countries. A more detailed breakdown of nurses registered with the UKCC as to the EU country of origin is provided through an analysis of trends in the number of European nurses and midwives coming to the UK. For example, in 1998/99, 5.42 per cent of the total number of admissions to the UKCC’s professional register were from practitioners qualified in other EU countries. Figure 3 illustrates how admissions of practitioners from EU countries compare with admissions from elsewhere.
