Nursing in Crisis: Philippine Nurse Migration during the COVID-19 Pandemic and its Impliations for New Zealand

Wednesday 7 September 2022, 12-1pm (on Zoom)
The COVID-19 pandemic is both a health and a health workforce crisis. This talk outlines how the pandemic has exposed vulnerability in the ability of the Philippines to produce nurses for overseas countries and the measures taken to address this problem. The findings will be relevant for examining and drafting New Zealand’s nursing workforce strategy to enable it to compete with other host countries of migrant nurses.
