TWO Teesside hospitals will soon be welcoming 58 Filipino nurses to their wards.
The 17 male and 41 female nurses were appointed by an international recruitment team from North Tees and Hartlepool NHS Trust which travelled to the Philippines last month.
They will take up their posts at the university hospitals of Hartlepool and North Tees in December and will work in a variety of departments, including general medicine, surgery, medical rehabilitation, A&E, intensive care, orthopaedics, theatres and coronary care.
