Supporting EU staff in the NHS: Where are we and what next?

NHS Employers

In this podcast Caroline Waterfield from NHS Employers explores the impact of the UK's decision to leave the European Union (EU) and what employers in the NHS can do to support their EU staff. We hear from Pascale Varley and Daniele Arces, two European citizens working at Kingston Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, about their concerns since the vote and the support they have received from their employer to ensure they feel valued and respected. Bridget O'Kelly, HR director from Buckinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust, highlights some practical ways that they support EU staff when they join the trust and why they continue to recruit from the EU. Chief executive of NHS Employers, Danny Mortimer joins Caroline in conversation to discuss what we have learned from the data we have collected since the 2016 referendum and offers an overview on what is happening across the country as employers prepare for Brexit.
