This month’s Counter Fraud Newsletter reminds colleagues to help protect NHS resources by being alert to overseas patient charging requirements and potential recruitment fraud. Colleagues are encouraged to verify qualifications, references, employment history, and ID checks thoroughly after a major NHS recruitment fraud case resulted in losses of almost £170,000.

The newsletter also highlights the rise of AI-powered social media scams designed to exploit sympathy, encourages colleagues to stay vigilant online, and promotes a range of fraud awareness training sessions. Read the newsletter below.
