COVID - 19大流行和英国脱欧是独立但相互关联的事态发展，影响了英国国家医疗服务体系（NHS）。英国国家资助的卫生部门历来依赖于移民劳动力，并依赖于旨在解决其护理劳动力短缺的移民基础设施。对主要定性和次要定量数据的分析表明，NHS移民基础设施增加了对亚洲的定位，以弥补英国脱欧的影响。该论文揭示了长期使用临时签证以及有条件的合同安排如何导致移民护士和助产士的各种排斥。这些数据还表明，与COVID - 19相关的国际旅行限制如何对护士流入造成暂时障碍。除了英国脱欧，这也导致欧盟卫生工作者外流增加。本文将菲律宾和印度护士移民支持基础设施的发展确定为与COVID - 19相关的主要创新。
The COVID‐19 pandemic and Brexit were separate yet inter‐related developments which affected the British National Health Service (NHS). The UK's state‐funded health sector had historically relied on migrant labour and depended on a migration infrastructure designed to solve its nursing labour shortages. The analysis of primary qualitative and secondary quantitative data shows that the NHS migration infrastructure increased its orientation towards Asia to compensate for the effects of Brexit. The paper reveals how the persistent use of temporary visas along with conditional contractual arrangements has led to various exclusions for migrant nurses and midwives. These data also demonstrate how international travel restrictions associated with COVID‐19 created temporary obstacles for nurses' inflows. Alongside Brexit, this has also resulted in an increase in outflows amongst EU health workers. The article identifies the development of migrant support infrastructure amongst Filipino and Indian nurses as a major COVID‐19 linked innovation.
