- OVERSEAS NURSING PROGRAMME
What is Overseas Nursing Programme (ONP)
Nursing in the United Kingdom
All nurses wishing to work in the UK, including those who have trained and qualified overseas, must be registered with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC). Since September 2005 all overseas nurses' programmes are being approved by the NMC and be delivered in partnership with Higher Education Institutions (HEI) and healthcare providers.
Essentially, this course is designed to equip overseas registered nurses with the necessary academic and clinical skills to gain Nursing & Midwifery Council (NMC) registration.
The Programme content is underpinned by the guiding principles of the NMC; to establish the philosophy and value of the NMC's requirements for programmes leading to entry onto the register as a registered nurse.
The guiding principles relate to professional standing, public protection and fitness for purpose, practice and award. Specifically the Programme will include: responsibility for professional standing, adherence to the NMC Code of Conduct: Standards for performance, conduct and ethics, responsibility and accountability, ethical and legal obligations, respect for individuals and communities, the concept of patient centeredness, management of care, public health, the concept of life-long learning, clinical governance and evidence-based practice.
Additionally the Programme will include: Basic Life Support, health and safety, moving and handling, managing complaints, pharmacy and drug calculations and administration of medicines.
Overseas Nursing Programme
Some employers are able to provide the Overseas Nursing Programme and will arrange to register you to start on the programme upon production of your NMC decision letter, as soon as you arrive in the UK. Provided you are accepted and meet the minimum standards to be accepted on the NMC register, as a nurse you will be required to undertake the Overseas Nursing Programme, if you have trained outside of the EEA.
Whilst you complete the Overseas Nursing Programme and obtain your NMC registration, certain employers are able to offer you work as an ATA (Auxiliary Trained Abroad) or a HCA (Healthcare Assistant), provided your registration documents are all in order.
The Overseas Nursing Programme is not widely available in the UK and therefore the NMC advise against travelling to the UK unless you are registered on an ONP Programme.

- OPPORTUNITY FOR NURSES AND CAREGIVERS IN THE U.K.
Just got out of college and want to work abroad? One option is to enroll as a working student in the UK. We show you how.
Inexperienced recent graduates looking for jobs overseas can take heart from a unique earning and learning program in the United Kingdom. Under UK’s National Vocational Qualification (NVQ) program, you can study, work, and get paid a minimum wage of £5.80 (about P500) per hour in that country.
What National Vocational Qualification?
- NVQ is a competence-based qualification program offered by UK government-authorized institutions. When you take an NVQ course, you learn practical, work-related tasks that help you develop effective job skills and knowledge.
- NVQs comply with nationally recognized UK standards for various occupations. The standards determine what a competent person in a given job is expected to do. As you progress through the program, you can compare your skills and knowledge with the standards and evaluate what more you need to learn to meet them.
- NVQs are at Levels 1 to 5 of the National Qualifications Framework. Only level 3 and above are available for foreign students.
- How are assessments made?
NVQ participants are assessed in the areas of knowledge, understanding of work, and actual performance. An assessor will observe and question you to determine how well you know and understand your work. He will confirm with individual units within the NVQ when you have reached the required standards.
- Where does an NVQ course lead?
Completing an NVQ course can lead to the next NVQ level. If you complete an NVQ course at Level 3, you can go on to a higher education course that will give you a Higher National Certificate, Higher National Diploma, Foundation Degree, or vocational specialization in a related vocational area.
You can go all the way to a Level 5 NVQ course or professional qualifications, usually in a related area.
Qualification:
- Newly graduate nurses (with or without work experience)
- Caregivers (with training certificate)
- Experience caregivers (without training certificate)
