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.

Carers can help the person with feelings of depression and anxiety with tips from the Alzheimer’s Society.
Someone who is feeling depressed or anxious will often find the following helpful:
- Talking about their feelings – if someone is feeling depressed or anxious, or something very upsetting or traumatic has happened to them, they may find it helpful to talk to someone close to them about it. (Patience and understanding will be more helpful than trying to get the person to ‘cheer up’.)
- Support to help them maintain social contact with other people – this will help them to feel less isolated.
- Persevering with treatment – those close to the person should encourage them to keep taking their medication or seeing their therapist even if improvement feels slow at the start.
- Keeping active – physical exercise is good for relieving feelings of anxiety and depression, and can also help people with sleep problems and apathy. Supporting the person to do other activities that they enjoy will often also help.
- Eating a healthy diet – a poor diet can contribute to feelings of anxiety and depression, as can alcohol and caffeine. It is therefore a good idea to try to eat a healthy diet and not drink too much alcohol or caffeinated drinks.
