Feedback from our Overseas Nurses Cecil David- 9A “I had done a lot of research into the hospital; so before the interview I knew already that there was a great network of support at YDH. “I was hoping that the team would accept me at interview and that I would feel a sense of belonging at Yeovil. My hopes were definitely exceeded!” “The team made me feel so welcome.”
Feedback from our Overseas Nurses Julie Ancheta- 8A “My experience with the process coming to the UK was fantastic.” “I always felt that nothing was too much trouble, even the most simple questions were answered quickly.” I recommend all of my friends to Yeovil’soverseas recruitment team as I am confident that they will be cared for and supported in the same way that I was.”
