Just over two weeks ago, the HSE announced the end of the recruitment freeze introduced last October.

This marks a significant milestone for the nursing and healthcare sector, opening up numerous opportunities for professionals in the field.

The HSE implemented the recruitment freeze in October last year, extending it in November to include all staff categories except consultants, doctors in training, and 2023 graduate nurses and midwives. However, the recent announcement of substantial government funding has changed the landscape, allowing the HSE to lift the freeze and start hiring again. 

But what does it mean for healthcare staff going forward? Will this bring a change to the current staffing levels in our hospitals?  

For healthcare workers, the end of the recruitment freeze means a host of new opportunities. This change is expected to improve patient care, reduce workload pressures on existing staff, and create a more supportive and efficient working environment.  

As a recently approved HSE supplier, Excel Healthcare Recruitment are excited about the opportunities this development brings. If you are a nurse or healthcare professional looking for new opportunities, now is the perfect time to connect with us and explore the possibilities ahead.
