Alternative Language Test for Overseas Nurses Set to be Brought in Within Weeks

Employers have expressed growing concerns that the International English Language Testing System exam – the only test currently used by the Nursing and Midwifery Council – is too difficult to pass, which is causing recruitment problems.
