We owe them a great deal of gratitude for all that they do.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">I don\u2019t want them distracted by the visa process. That is why I have automatically extended their visas \u2013 free of charge \u2013 for a further year.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The extension to NHS visas will be automatic, there will be no fee attached and it will be exempt from the Immigration Health Surcharge.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Trainee doctors and nurses will also not be limited by the number of hours they can work in the NHS during term time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Source: https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/government\/news\/nhs-frontline-workers-visas-extended-so-they-can-focus-on-fighting-coronavirus?utm_source=d0e814b3-bfad-4cde-9280-ff8e8b6f44ba&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_campaign=govuk-notifications&amp;utm_content=immediate<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Home office: Published 31 March 2020 UK Doctors, nurses and paramedics with visas due to expire before 1 October 2020","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"video","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_joinchat":[]},"categories":[1],"tags":[280,277,250,289,284,288,278,276,279,232,275,251,285,286,252,282,287,283,228,281],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v18.1 -
