Nursing in the United Kingdom

Devon, United Kingdom

Nursing in the  United Kingdom

In August 16, 2001 I traveled to UK with other nurses who were recruited in Oman . Heathrow Airport, one of the busiest Airport in the world was our destination. That same day we  traveled by bus to South Devon,5 hours bus   from Heathrow airport. It was a very beautiful scenery on the way to Devon with   green fields,forest and as we go further are stunning  coastal views.It was a very scenic country.
Devon is England's third largest county with nearly 7,000 sq. kilometers of land. Sits the  two natural parks of Exmoor and Dartmoor, the coastal towns and seaside resorts of two coast lines, picturesque villages with their thatched cottages and charming inns, the industrial centers and a variety of ancient history.

There were 18 of us who were hired by the  Torbay Hospital of Devon. 
 Because of its excellent track record - one of the most successful Day Surgery Units in the country, runs the regional training center for consultants from across the NHS for the early detection of bowel cancer, it is very well regarded for the level of care the patients receive.

 Because of its success in reducing waiting times in many specialties, patients are known to travel from neighboring areas to Torbay Hospital for earlier treatment. Their service for stroke patients also have been ranked in one of the top few nationally.
