Abstract:

Labor migration of high qualified healthcare workers and its consequences along with the global pandemic outbreak appear to be one of the crucial issues within the current global economy social and economic environment. The paper deals with the healthcare labor migration trend analysis between United Kingdom and Slovak Republic to figure out the problematic aspects regarding its determinants and consequences and impacts on social and economic sustainable development of both economies. Basic data to conduct the analysis of labor migration trends between the UK and Slovakia has been drawn from generally accepted institutions, evaluating the Slovak and British healthcare sectors. The results showed that the emigration of trained physicians, specialists, and doctors as well as nurses has a negative impact on healthcare sector development in Slovak Republic being obsolete and soon there will be even less healthcare staff when doctors at retirement age got really retired. It is recommended that this negative trend might be changed by creating not only the same working conditions as in Britain but even better than in Slovakia.
