Depending on what speciality a nurse has they can go in to jobs in GP surgeries.
Quite a few surgeries now employ nurses/paramedics/physios directly which is seen as a way out of the NHS for quite a few.
I can’t talk about nurses but for paramedics it’s similar money to the NHS banding, no weekends or nights and still lets you pay in to the NHS pension. It’s proving popular as an escape route for some and they seem to be trying to recruit more and more.
As most surgeries are private companies now, it’s worsening staffing issues in the NHS and slowly but surely privatising my more and more of the health service.

Is there a particularly free market for jobs like nurses and doctors? Like if you wanted to 'go and get that new job' is that plausible or would the pay be in the same constraints at the other (NHS) hospital you applied for (assuming no promotion).
I assume that private hospital jobs are relatively scarce?
