In London City you will find a wealth of museums and galleries, green spaces, cultural venues, festivals, bars and restaurants, churches, and shops unmatched anywhere else. St Paul’s Cathedral, Tower Bridge, the Millennium Bridge and ‘the Gherkin’ are just some of the iconic landmarks both old and new that sit side by side in the City and reflect its vibrant and exciting feel. All that, and home to the 2012 Olympic Games!

I’d just like to wish you all a very Happy Christmas and a prosperous New Year. The Cpl team in the Galway are heading out this evening for a meal in the lovely Townhouse Bar and Restaurant in the Spanish Arch area of the city. The Christmas feel is starting to creep its way into our office, and everyone is aglow with its touch.
Our team of recruiters are still very busy, preparing for one of the busiest months in our industry – January. The New Year brings in New Year Resolutions and, for many, it’s to move jobs, change career paths, or to seek...

Emergency Medicine
This week I had a really nice trip to Leitrim The team there have tasked me with joining them to find a Registrar and SHO with Emergency Medicine experience to join the frontline fight against illness, disease and injury in our country’s accident and emergency departments.
If the beautiful scenery wasn’t enough to entice experienced Emergency Medicine Doctors, we have devised a generous relocation package including one of the best salaries in Europe, contribution towards flights and accommodation and a refund of Irish Medical Council Registration...

I love to receive CVs, which are clear, concise and straight to the point. It’s so important to keep your CV down to one or two pages, and ensure the formatting is consistent and comprehensible. I would recommend that you use either Times New Roman or Arial Font, size 11-12, and tab to space correctly....Never use the spacebar! Recruiters work very hard to find candidates who fulfil their clients’ exact requirements, so your CV is the most important tool you’ll use in your search for the perfect job. Do not let it let you down.

Some of our clients in Ireland, England and the Channel Islands are interested in recruiting Staff Nurses from EU member countries such as Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Luxembourg, The Netherlands, Portugal, Spain and Sweden.
EU directives mean your nursing qualification can be recognised in EU countries, enabling you to practise freely between member states. Relocating to another EU county for employment reasons can be a very worthwhile venture. You can gain invaluable clinical skills in a new healthcare system, soak up their...

Following a recent trip to Portugal to source Nurses for roles in Ireland, the UK and The Channel Islands, Cpl Healthcare have been made acutely aware of the many talented Nurses in Portugal seeking work in other European countries. Like many other European countries the Portuguese economy has suffered badly with Healthcare being one of the areas badly affected by the downturn. It has resulted in recruitment and pay freezes in this sector leaving many Nurses either out of work or working excessive hours for low rates of pay. Does this sound like you?
Ireland and the UK...

nurses in Portugal are working in excess of 50 hours a week just to get by
25/08/2011
The economic situation in Portugal is dire, with healthcare professionals being hardest hit by the lack of employment opportunities. Nurses in particular are needing to look outside of their home country for jobs, and Cpl Healthcare are here to help them, holding interviews on 6th September 2011.

I enjoy recruiting for positions I have not come across before and in finding those unique Doctors who are the missing piece in my jigsaw. At the moment I am recruiting for 2 unusual roles that have piqued my interest;
Doctor – Medical Services – Insurance - Dublin, Ireland.
Consultant Immunologist with a subspecialty in Immunopathology – Wellington, New Zealand. (6 month contract)

Like many of you, I am sure you are dismayed at the poor state of the global economy and mass job shortages. As a nurse I have always felt that my qualifiaction is as valuable as my passport as our skills open us to a world of employment opportunities. Never has this been more evident than in recent months with a massive shortage of specialist aged care, cardiology, surgical and mental health nurses in Ireland, the UK and the Channel Islands.
While our skills are in high demand, we as a profession are not without our challenges and have been forced...

There is quite a shortage of Psychiatric Doctors in Ireland.Personally, I think working in Mental Health in Ireland is a great opportunity for overseas Doctors. Mental Health is the one sector where culture and surroundings have a big impact on the service users.
I’m interested to hear from any Psychiatric Doctors out there with their recommendations on what countries to source suitable Doctors from. So today’s mission is to make a different to Ireland’s Mental Health Services!

Excellent opportunity for experienced RGN with a minimum 3 years recent acute Medical/Surgical experience to move up the career ladder and into a non-clinical setting!

Like many of you I’m sure, I was following closely the Irish Apprentice over the last 12 weeks or thereabouts. Something jumped out at me from the winner Michelle and her reasoning for wanting to win the Apprentice and she repeated it more than once during the series. She told Bill Cullen and the Audience she was stuck. Stuck How?
For a number of years it was explained Michelle was employed in telecommunications sales as a Corporate Account Manager and she felt her current role was stagnant and when she searched for alternative employment the only offers she could...

Ireland’s first online medical directory will be launched in Dublin Monday 6th of December 2010.
The directory which is targeted at busy GP Healthcare Professionals is free to use. Its aim is to help doctors in general practice, by improving the scope of information available during a consultation and ultimately saving time in making assessments etc. This website is funded by the revenue advertising sales generate.
I hope it’s a successful initiative for its founders Dr. Darach Ó Ciardha and Dr Shane McKeogh.

Athens…..it’s an extremely compact city; it has enough grit, weirdness and bustle to give it that urban vibe which you don’t seem to have in Dublin. But like many other visitors to Athens, I am travelling not knowing the full extent of the country’s economic problems.
My colleague and I are travelling to Athens with one goal…a mission you could call it, to find Doctors that are willing to come and work in Ireland.
In case you have been living under a rock in past few years you will know that Ireland has...

With the shutdown of A&E and acute services in Navan general, shortly after the closure of acute services in Monaghan, what is happening to the North East? The question has to be asked, why is that region constantly in the press? Could it be similar to the Northside/ Southside bias that was in the IMT a fortnight ago, whereby Beaumont Hospital believes there is a “disparity” between the way the HSE allocates funding. Does this carry through to other HSE regions as well?
Seemingly not; an article published recently in the Irish times suggests that...
