Exclusive: More than 100 nurses write to Wes Streeting after being accused of cheating in tests to practise in UK

• ‘I feel like I have failed everyone’, says Nigerian nurse accused of cheating after arriving in UK

A group of more than 100 Nigerian nurses have called on the health secretary to help them correct “a significant injustice” after the nursing regulator accused them of cheating in tests to practise in the UK.

The nurses said their lives were destroyed when the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) accused them of fraud, having concluded that the computer-based tests in numeracy and clinical practice were completed implausibly quickly.
