Junior Doctors Strikes

How is your accent? - both parents/Aunts, of whom one has hearing difficulties find it difficult to understand indian/Pakistani doctors;
yes if the were brummies/Scots they might have same issue - the lost productivity wholly down to language must multiply up across NHS.
(the rain in spain ...)

As meddling Monk says moneys should be redirected to more deserving carer professionals - have a sibling who does this.

I had an Indian professor during my astrophysics degree. Couldn't understand a word he said.... and I'm Indian :cry: Still, got my degree so I guess it's fine....

Bringing in foreign doctors from god knows where is absolutely mental. When I go to the hospital I want to be seen by a Brit or an equivalent with similar levels of training not someone imported from the 3rd world who might kill me.

If we stopped doing that, we would have entire wards without doctors, I very rarely see a white british doctor now, they like a dying breed. The current GP situation would also be childs play as well compared to the new reality, similar with dentists.
I have never felt like I am in danger so I do think your comment is very far fetched, there is standards still required to employ doctors.

How come we have doctors and nurses saying they can’t get jobs whilst we bring in people from abroad? If we need doctors we should be recruiting from within than getting them from abroad because the healthcare system is almost like an essential utility.

My friend who is a surgeon says there can be issues with some of the doctors and nurses coming from abroad. He doesn’t agree with junior doctors asking for payrises but he does think the situation with them not getting work is not right.

TBF, there are some dodgy ones out there.
Personally, I've referred one to the GMC as they were obviously lying on their CV and this was apparent within the first hour of meeting them.

we shipped them in - recruitment drives abroad with promises of riches, to the detriment of the health services they left, and Brits (if they are unitelligible)

what is the prioritization for british citizens for places in UK medical colleges too ?, or is that like other degrees where foreign financed students get priority.
 
BMA has announced a ballot on Consultant/SAS doctor strikes. The consultant body is always so wet, I'm not hopeful, but maybe we'll grow a backbone.

used to be a maximum cap of 7.5% foreign students for undergraduate medicine
