Filipino psychopath with forged qualifications poisoned 22 patients in the UK

[Juan Martinez]

AFAIK, UK's program of evaluation is adaptation, that is, a superior will observe an applicant for a period of time then decide if said applicant was able to adapt to the job given or not.

That is why a lot of Filipino Nurses will surely pass the evaluation because we are highly adaptable and resilient to hard work. This type of evaluation is also subjectivel

But now, they changed it already to OSCE type of evaluation, wherein a group of evaluators will test their practical skills and knowledge in an objective, structured simulated environment, this is aside from the test of their English language.

in other words, it is not so much one's educational background or the lack of it, so long as you have the nursing skills (which can be acquired over time) and you pass the English language test (which is, i think, harder to overcome than taking the nursing skills test). is that right? if so, it wasn't because he got his degree elsewhere, but anybody can be sicko, Asian or Caucasian, and it just so happened that this one is a Filipino.

Oh, I forgot to include that the current evaluation for foreign trained nurses in UK also includes an MCQ computer based exam aside from the practical exam.

But you are correct, that sicko kababayan nurse is just lucky that he was able to be registered as a nurse through adaptation without any trouble because he already have the necessary nursing skills before due to his experience working in a hospital in the Phil. In which by the way he was fired for theft.

Also before, attestation of documents was sloppy. For instance, its not the school where you graduated from that will attest to the veracity of your school credentials anymore, now it needs to go to CHED for verification.

Im not saying that there are no cases of falsification of credentials anymore but it is very hard to pull that stunt today with all of the check and balances in place.

Mr. Wright, not all Filipino nurses resorted to these shenanigans, most of them, if not all, except that sicko, toiled in college, passed government examinations, spent sizeable sums, had to endure family separation for long, just to work in your country. In the same way that we did not generalize Britons as child molesters or traffickers when a number of them were arrested in 2014 under Operation Endeavour victimizing Filipino children. Most Filipinos have this indomitable spirit too to succeed as exemplified by Cynthia Alcantara-Barker, a native of San Pablo City, Laguna, who was elected town councilor of Elstree and Borehamwood, England.

I agree. Guys let us not blow this out of proportions. Pinoy lang ba nakaka-commit nang heinous crime?

A setback for Pinoy nurses indeed but you can never put a good man or woman down im strong ho. Makakabawi din imahe nang Pinoy nurses for sure. With todays technology, kasalanan na din nang recruiter if you don't do a comprehensive background investigation specially for a citical job like a nurse. Akala ko nga mahigpit sila sa first world country, nalulusutan din pala.

Sa saudi, dami nyan. Mga dr. engineers, tech na galing india, egypt, pakistan na karamihan wala alam, ngpapanggap lang at nakukuha na lang sa experience.

Peke din mga papeles.

Of course you missed this part of his article. Shame on him. Tsk tsk tsk.

"Of course, the vast majority of Filipino nurses are qualified and have the correct credentials to work in the UK.

Totally missed the point. Wright was pointing out how easy it is to get fake credentials, not that all Filipino nurses have fake credentials. What I got from the article was they need to improve the screening and verification process.
