Tour Gossip with Basildon & Thurrock University Hospital...

Denise Jan- Nursing consultant/ Medical Coordinator at Search shares her most recent tour experience in Spain with Basildon & Thurrock University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust.


The Basildon tour was a breeze thanks to wonderful nurses and fab team from Basildon!

I was so pleased with the level of professionalism the skilled nurses displayed, they all came fully prepared, had excellent English and Medical terminology. A few i had screened via Skype prior to the Interviews who had come across shy, had clearly been practising, and held their nerves very well and confidently sailed throughout the interviews. It was rewarding to see smiles beaming from ear to ear when they were offered. We went out to hire 50 candidates, and came back with 53 offered! One candidate (Isabel Coy Lopez) really stood out, her understanding and knowledge was superior and she demonstrated empathy towards patients that was flawless, not to mention she only graduated this year!

53 New Recruits for Basildon & Thurrock...

Working In Partnership with Basildon & Thurrock University NHS Foundation Trust

One year ago we went with Basildon and Thurrock to Madrid to recruit qualified Nurses, we were delighted when they contacted us again requesting more from Spain. After having a discussion with the Hospital as to what the trust wanted, it was agreed to recruit 50 Nurses from Madrid and Malaga. The tour was split over three days, starting Interviews in Madrid for the first two days and then Malaga for the third day of Interviews. The tour was very successful with a grand total of 53 excited Nurses, keen to start their new life in the UK this September.

We've been very busy at SEARCH...with Tours in Madrid, India and The Philippines

Northwick Park Hospital received their first cohort of Filipino nurses last Thursday, shortly followed by 19 Indian Nurses that arrive on the Friday...



Following Tours to Manila in March and India in April 2014, the 1st Group of overseas nurses arrived into the UK this July, a total of 30 new smiling faces...

 The nurses arrived in glorious sunshine and had a lovely welcome from the hospital who helped them to settle into their accommodation at the Hospital and arranged a fantastic social gathering in the evening at a local park so all the nurses could get to know each other and their new 'ONP class mates'. All the nurses are very pleased to have been given this wonderful opportunity to come to study and work in the NHS to use their skills and develop their knowledge & abilities, and can't wait to get started!

King's Lynn New Recruits- From Recent Tour

Working In Partnership with The Queen Elizabeth- Kings Lynn NHS Foundation Trust

After doing a previous Tour with King's Lynn, we were asked again to organise another tour to recruit more fantastic nurses. We took the Trust to Madrid last week, where we conducted back to back interviews over two days, and successfully offered positions to 27 Spanish nurses. The nurses were really enthusiastic and had good English communication skills. The Trust are expecting the new recruits to arrive early September and late October 2014.

The Kings Lynn tour was spectacular!

I was amazed by so many skilled nurses that were accepted on tour! We went out to hire 15 -20 candidates, and came back with 27 offered! One candidate really stood out, in all my years of nursing I have never seen such a bright young determined nurse who will go so far, well done Adrian Aldana!! The best and strongest candidate to date on the Tour, sailing through his Interview with strong answers, demonstrating excellent medical terminology and kept quietly confident throughout; they knew exactly where to place him and saw great potential. The Clients David and Merwyn from King's Lynn were outstanding with the candidates, and complete gentlemen, a real pleasure to work with.

One candidate Daniel Hernandez had a football accident, kicking a football, landed on it and twisted his ankle so badly that he thought he would not be able to attend his interview, I advised him to rest and apply ice packs and keep me informed, but he was determined to come, and we're glad he did! He did so well at the interview, he passed with flying colours even though he was still limping in pain.  A true sign of commitment and a very successful tour all round.

Prior to deciding which agency to use, I found Laura to be very approachable, knowledgeable and always happy to help. This was a major factor in selecting Search to represent our Trust. Overall the service we received before, during and after has been second to none. Everyone who we have dealt with have been helpful, professional and eager to support us and the nurses.

What Goes On Tour Stays On Tour- Harrogate NHS Trust


What Goes on Tour Stays On Tour!
Denise Jan- Nursing Consultant/ Medical Recruitment Co-ordinator

Denise Jan- Nursing consultant/ Medical Coordinator at Search shares her most recent tour experience in Spain with Harrogate and District NHS Foundation Trust.

We arrived in Madrid on the Sunday afternoon and made sure all preparations were in place for the next few days of recruiting. The Hotel was extremely comfortable and a great place to host interviews as it was near the city and provided large interview rooms, which were fully serviced.
On the first day of interviews within minutes after the first interview, we were thrilled to know we had got our first offer of the day! The calibre of nurses were excellent, the English averaged between above average and excellent, the skills and knowledge displayed was impressive. In total the Trust offered to 28 Spanish nurses, a fantastic outcome as the Trusts original target was for 25 nurses.
In the evenings we made sure our lovely clients made the most of the sights in the city, and visited the Palace, San Miguel's Market and the Plaza Mayor and finished off with Tapas and drinks. The food was really good and the company was very enjoyable. We were all so pleased with the outcome of the tour.

Harrogate contacted us in the beginning of May with a need to increase their staffing numbers, and to get the new recruits in quickly without compromising on skills and experience. We confidently set out and arranged interviews and set dates for the Tour to Madrid coordinating schedules and screening candidates pre- tour to make sure all attendees had good English and communication skills. The Trust set out for 25 nurses which they want to start in September. The Tour took place last week in Madrid and they achieved above their target with 28!

New Team Addition to Search!


Welcome Shina! Our New Recruiter!
Shina Parekh - Medical Recruitment Co-ordinator

Shina, recently joined the 'Search Recruitment Medical Division, her wealth of knowledge is a great asset to us, she has had many years of previous experience working for the NHS and for Private hospitals, and we are sure that her lovely bubbly personality will be ideal when assisting on Tours and building rapport with candidates and clients.


Shina's 1st Tour Experience

I was really touched and impressed by the level of knowledge  and friendliness the candidates showed. When I asked about their reasons as to why they became nurses, a lot of them had personal stories, relating to caring for their grandparents and respecting their elders which I found lovely and endearing.

 One of the nurses stood out to me because she was so confident, sharing her nursing experience and  showed a great sense of humor and 'can do attitude'. We all loved her animated stories! Her warming positive personality would brighten up any hospital ward.

The clients were a very friendly bunch with a great sense of humour yet professional, and were happy with the tour. Madrid is a fantastic city, with a great atmosphere, warm people and rustic architecture. The Tour was a very enjoyable experience, engaging with the Spanish nurses, their English was very good  and their passion for nursing was inspiring!   It was a great experience touring , and enjoyed being part of the candidate’s journey, The Mid Yorkshire Trust have offered to some wonderful nurses that will make a real difference!

 
" These really are dedicated superb nurses "
