Implementation of an adaptation programme for Filipino nurses in a UK adult cancer hospice.
The UK has a history of recruiting international nurses successfully. This recruitment places a responsibility on healthcare providers to offer a suitable adaptation programme in order to prepare the internationally recruited nurses for registration with the regulatory body. This article outlines the organization and implementation of such an adaptation programme as a joint venture between a higher education provider and a local hospice which was designed specifically to meet the needs of palliative care patients.
