LONDON, ENGLAND, April 07, 2011 (Press-News.org) The country's state-funded healthcare service is similar to the NHS, and it also has a larger private healthcare sector, nurses not only find it easy to adapt to familiar working practices but can also expect a better climate, with an 'easy way of life'.
Not surprising then when HCL International, the leading international healthcare recruiter, says that it gets it's best response when targeting Ireland for nursing jobs in Australia. The combination of recession and less favourable working conditions in the public sector is driving increasing numbers of nurses to seek a new job and a new life in Australia, according to HCL International.
The company, which supplies nurses of all grades and specialties to leading private and public sector hospitals across Australia, says it has seen a dramatic rise in nurses from the Republic of Ireland seeking advice on how to begin the relocation process, which is why they are specifically targeting Dublin.
"Without doubt we are getting our best responses from Ireland," says Josh Collins, who is leading the Irish initiative from down under. Based in Sydney, Josh Collins is working on the Australian nurses programme, to build a pipeline of nurses, once individuals are compliant, they will eventually be employed by Healthcare Australia, HCL's sister company in Australia. "The model for agency staffing works differently in Australia to the UK," says Josh "We employ nurses and allocate to shifts depending on their work preferences which means they can work flexibly around family commitments and receive good rates of pay."
To build the nurses pipeline Josh has tasked his UK team to organise a series of events in Glasgow, Manchester, Birmingham and Dublin. Dublin, the mostly popular venue, is already looking to be over subscribed by nurses keen to find out more about relocation to Australia.
HCL will be talking to nurses at these events about what working life is really like in Australia, and the opportunities that are open to them. "What many nurses don't realise is that they have a huge advantage because their skills are in such high demand. 40% of Australian nurses are due to retire in the next decade so there is massive demand from a population that is growing rapidly as the Australian economy expands," says Josh.
Meet HCL International at the following venues:
5th April - Radisson SAS, Glasgow
6th April - The Midland Hotel, Manchester
7th April - Radisson SAS, Birmingham
12th April - Radisson SAS, Dublin

MIT biologists pinpoint a genetic change that helps tumors move to other parts of the body
2011-04-07
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. -- MIT cancer biologists have identified a genetic change that makes lung tumors more likely to spread to other parts of the body. The findings, to be published in the April 6 online issue of Nature, offers new insight into how lung cancers metastasize and could help identify drug targets to combat metastatic tumors, which account for 90 percent of cancer deaths.
The researchers, led by Tyler Jacks, director of the David H. Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer Research at MIT, found the alteration while studying a mouse model of lung cancer. They then ...
New Caltech research suggests strong Indian crust thrust beneath the Tibetan Plateau
2011-04-07
PASADENA, Calif.—For many years, most scientists studying Tibet have thought that a very hot and very weak lower and middle crust underlies its plateau, flowing like a fluid. Now, a team of researchers at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) is questioning this long-held belief and proposing that an entirely different mechanism is at play.
"The idea that Tibet is more or less floating on a layer of partially molten crust is accepted in the research community. Our research proposes the opposite view: that there is actually a really strong lower crust that originates ...

New Orleans, LA – Dr. Howard Osofsky, Professor and Chair of Psychiatry at LSU Health Sciences Center New Orleans School of Medicine, is an author of a review article published in the April 7, 2011 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine that urgently calls for the development of protocols to deal with the health effects of disasters – before the next one occurs. One year after the largest and most devastating oil spill in United States history, the magnitude of the impact of the Deepwater Horizon Gulf Oil Spill on human health, the environment, and the economy remains ...
Research into batteries will give electric cars the same range as petrol cars
2011-04-07
Li-air batteries are a promising opportunity for electric cars. "If we succeed in developing this technology, we are facing the ultimate breakthrough for electric cars, because in practice, the energy density of Li-air batteries will be comparable to that of petrol and diesel, if you take into account that a combustion engine only has an efficiency of around 30 percent," says Tejs Vegge, senior scientist in the Materials Research Division at Risø DTU. If batteries with an energy density this great become a reality, one could easily imagine electrically powered trucks.
The ...
Minimize Foodservice Equipment Downtime and Increase Productivity by Improving the Water Quality
2011-04-07
Scheduled or unexpected equipment downtime results in lost revenue, especially if this occurs during peak hours of operation. A failed solenoid on an ice machine can shut the system down completely. De-liming a steam oven takes time--often 2-3 hours--and can require the use of harsh chemicals. If this job is outsourced, it can cost up to $75.00 or more per hour per deliming, plus scheduling arrangements and dealing with equipment that is out of commission during the cleaning.
The technical service personnel of equipment manufacturers have found that most equipment problems ...
Research identifies on-off switch for key 'factor' in heart disease and cancer
2011-04-07
Scientists at the University of Hull have identified a cellular 'on-off' switch that may have implications for treating cardiovascular disease and cancer.
The team has found the mechanism which controls the inclusion of a protein called tissue factor into endothelial microparticles, tiny vesicles which are released from cells in the lining of blood vessels.
"Although tissue factor is part of the body's natural healing process, helping create clots to stop bleeding and repair injuries, high levels circulating in the blood stream can be harmful," says lead researcher ...
Fatty liver -- how a serious problem arises
2011-04-07
Excess fat around the hips and belly may not really be compatible with current beauty ideals, but, to a certain degree, it is a normal, even vital energy store of our body. However, it is a different matter if the organism stores fat in organs such as the liver, pancreas or muscles. This is a clear sign of a metabolic disorder.
Up to 80 percent of obese people develop fatty liver disease, which is regarded a typical characteristic of the dangerous metabolic syndrome. Deposition of fat in the liver may lead to chronic liver inflammation and even to liver cancer. In addition, ...
Karlsruhe Institute of Technology: Third dimension of specific cell cultivation
2011-04-07
At Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), researchers of the DFG Center for Functional Nanostructures (CFN) succeeded in specifically cultivating cells on three-dimensional structures. The fascinating thing is that the cells are offered small "holds" in the micrometer range on the scaffold, to which they can adhere. Adhesion is possible to these holds only, not to the remaining structure. For the first time, cell adhesion and, hence, cell shape are influenced precisely in three dimensions. The team headed by Professor Martin Bastmeyer thus has achieved big progress in ...
Older age memory loss tied to stress hormone receptor in brain
2011-04-07
Scientists have shed new light on how older people may lose their memory with a development that could aid research into treatments for age-related memory disorders.
Many believe that stress is bad for our brains especially as we get older. Now researchers have shown how two receptors in older brains react to a stress hormone called cortisol, which has been linked to increasing forgetfulness as we age.
The study, by the University of Edinburgh, found that one receptor was activated by low levels of cortisol, which helped memory.
However, once levels of this stress ...
