1. Doctors and nurses in Cork urgently need accommodation.
Change is urgently needed. A study from Cork University Hospital and Cork University Business School claims that the country’s health system would “collapse” without overseas doctors.
According to the Irish Nurses and Midwives’ Organisation (INMO), these essential workers are often being asked to share bedrooms or, in at least one instance, beds with strangers.
You have probably seen the recruiter ads on LinkedIn inviting doctors and nurses to apply for medical roles in Cork.
International health professionals play a vital role in the provision of healthcare to the citizens of Cork. Many travel thousands of kilometres to work on the frontline in Cork.
It’s hard to source and recruit medical staff. Unfortunately, though, many cannot find accommodation after they relocate to Cork and they are leaving our city as a result.
