In the early to mid 1990s about one in ten of the annual new entrants to the UK nursing register was from non-UK sources. By 2000/2001 this had risen to almost four in ten of total initial registrations, and in then 2001/2002 for the first time ever there were more overseas additions to the register than there were UK registrants.
