Further changes to the Immigration Rules, 2021

Foreign workers in key health and care roles will also have a greater opportunity to come to the UK following the changes announced within the UK Immigration Rules.

Pharmacists, laboratory technicians, senior care workers and nursing assistants are among roles that have been added to the Shortage Occupation List, which gives people in these roles an advantage in obtaining a Skilled Worker visa - https://www.gov.uk/skilled-worker-visa.

Health services and public health managers and directors, residential, day and domiciliary care managers and health professionals not elsewhere classified, have also been added to the Shortage Occupation List, as have modern foreign language teachers.

These changes ensure that businesses and public services across the UK can get access to the best and brightest talent from across the world.
