Singapore is increasing its healthcare workforce to meet rising healthcare needs and an ageing population. An earlier estimate signals a need for roughly 25,000 more healthcare workers by 2030. Since then, Singapore\u2019s Ministry of Health has continued to plan for workforce growth. The number of people working in healthcare is expected to grow by about 20% from 129,000 in 2024 to an estimated 156,000 in 2030.<\/p>\n
This continued demand has also created opportunities for qualified foreign healthcare professionals, including nurses. Dynamic Health Staff is here to help you take advantage of this great opportunity. We will provide the assistance you need to pursue opportunities in Singapore’s healthcare sector.<\/p>\n
The ageing population in Singapore is increasing the demand for healthcare services in hospitals, community care and other healthcare settings. The government is expanding healthcare capacity while also working to strengthen its workforce.<\/p>\n
Singapore’s Ministry of Health has said that qualified foreign healthcare workers are brought in where there are workforce shortfalls. In nursing, Singapore has also said that local nurses alone will not be enough to meet its long-term manpower needs, so foreign nurses will continue to be part of the workforce.<\/p>\n
For Indian nurses, Singapore is a good option for building an international nursing career. Foreign-trained nurses can apply for registration or enrolment with the Singapore Nursing Board (SNB), but they must meet the required criteria. SNB has said that\u00a0 foreign-trained nurses must have an employment offer from an eligible Singapore healthcare institution before their registration or enrolment application can be considered<\/p>\n
Their nursing education must be assessed as equivalent to the relevant Singapore programme, and they need nursing registration and a current practising licence in their home country. Relevant recent clinical experience is also required.<\/p>\n
Getting a job offer is only one part of the process. Foreign-trained nurses need to complete the SNB registration process, document verification and a licensing examination. The SNB currently requires foreign-trained nurses to take the Registered Nurse or Enrolled Nurse Licence Examination, depending on their pathway.<\/p>\n
The examination is conducted through computer-based testing at designated Pearson VUE test centres. Applicants should therefore prepare their nursing certificates, transcripts, registration documents, practising licence and employment records carefully. SNB also requires verification of nursing registration and education documents.<\/p>\n
