Supporting our EU colleagues
Unison and MiP are supporting members from other EU countries working in the NHS who want to remain in the UK following the country’s departure from the EU.
The position of EU citizens working for the NHS will not change until the UK stops being a member of the European Union or a new agreement is negotiated for EU nationals already resident in the UK. In the meantime, EU citizens, and their immediate family and dependents, who want to remain in the UK can apply for permanent residence, provided they have lived in the UK continuously for at least five years. Applications should be made using an EEA(PR) form and the fee is £65 per person.
