As part of the Autumn immigration rule changes, all medical practitioners have been added to the shortage occupation list. Other roles that have been added include:

occupational therapists
psychologists
radiographers
speech and language therapists
all social workers.

There is no change for nurses, who have been on the list since 2018. Nurses will still require a resident labour market test (RLMT), whereas the newly added professions will not. The changes were accepted by the government in July this year following recommendations by the Migration Advisory Committee (MAC).
