The UK government's rhetoric portrays international recruitment into the NHS as an uncomfortable necessity – tolerated to plug current gaps, but politically undesirable and expected to recede as domestic capacity builds.

I argue this approach needs to change.

Steve Weatherill and I consider the "fate" of mutual recognition as an organising principle of EU internal market law and explore its evolving relationship with legislative harmonisation.

Thank you so much, Eleanor!

Today, I officially start as Lecturer in EU Law at King’s College London. I’m thrilled to be joining a leading law school with a deep and long-standing tradition in EU law research and teaching. This is also a major personal milestone following three career breaks (and three beautiful babies).

The book will offer a comprehensive analysis of the UK’s post-Brexit regulatory landscape across a wide range of constitutional and policy areas, both economic and social.

Just wrapped up Day 3 of the workshop for our forthcoming volume The UK Regulatory Framework Post-Brexit: ‘Law Unbound’ (OUP 2026).

Huge thanks to our 33 (!!!) fantastic contributors and to my exceptional co-editor, Paul Craig.

Thank you, Steve.

I had the pleasure to review an incredibly interesting and highly valuable book: Not What The Bus Promised by @tamarahervey.bsky.social, @ivankaantova.bsky.social, Mark Flear, and Matthew Wood. I strongly recommend it to anyone who’s interested in all things Brexit and health governance.
