Walsons nurses have passed their OSCE in first attempt having only 1-week intensive preparation course with us.

Credit to all of you at Walsons Healthcare, we’re really impressed and pleased with how the whole process is going. The quality of the nurses that you’re providing to us speaks for itself in terms of interview-to-offer rates, and now potentially OSCE-pass rates too.

Walsons Healthcare’s ability to offer a regular supply of good quality candidates for Skype Interviews, that have passed IELTS in all cases (and CBT in about 50-70% of cases), makes the process from interview much shorter (average of 9 weeks from interview to start date).

We can give Walsons Healthcare a start date and they will then work extensively to ensure they complete the compliance process and deliver the agreed amount of nurses per month for that start date. (As an example, we have a consistent 10 nurses from March to July planned in, with this likely to continue through until our pipeline is all delivered). Other agencies instead will expect us to take nurses ‘on their terms’ and to their own expected start dates which can be difficult from a planning and coordination point of view (sourcing accommodation, L&D etc).

Walsons Healthcare nurses are sent through for sponsorship at the point that they receive their NMC decision letter, which means there is no delay in booking and processing their OSCE exams, or any concerns around the NMC rejecting applications after the nurse has already arrived.

The candidates get extensive pastoral support (meeting & greeting of our cohorts at the airport, providing them the UK SIM-cards and then arranging follow-up meetings after a few months to help them source private accommodation) which helps ease the burden on our end.

They are very easy to work with and accommodates our requests to amend/alter any processes to suit us, where possible. Again this is different from other partners where they work to their own terms and processes, and expect us to accept ‘their way’ of doing things. It very much is a customer-client relationship with Walsons Healthcare.

Many thanks to Walsons Healthcare team in getting the nurses to the UK so quickly. This is an absolute record for us! Keeping the fingers crossed for their OSCEs !

Wish you good luck in your future endeavours!
