as my wife works for the nhs, they paid for a CRB (criminal records bureau) check on her, they also asked for 2 references, for 1 of the references we used her dean at the medical uni she attended in laguna, her mom checked with the dean, and he said no problem, and also wrote a letter of recommendation for her, and posted it to us in the UK without charging us anything how many deans or professors in the uk would do that , i don't know if the hospital contacted her dean, with the philippines being 7hrs+ in front, maybe they didn't, i don't know.. but she was asked to attended an interview and was offered the job later the same night ...

only problem we had was they wanted her to go for blood tests and jabs etc, and she told the nurse that she couldn't have certain jabs as she was pregnant. days later she got a call from the manager who interviewed her and had offered her the job, saying "we have a problem" - meaning my wife was pregnant, i told my wife to not let him bully her into quitting before she had even started, she stood her ground, and she has now been working there for nearly a year, and the trust is sending on some courses, so stand your ground, hold on, and you will get there in the end, good luck ladies
