retep Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 A lot more than half of Eastleigh is right-wing. You'd love it there.

SevenRivers Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Only a very small proportionof immigrants come to work in the NHS so using the NHS to justify high uncontrolled immigration isn't logical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harvey19 Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 We wouldn't need overseas doctors and nurses at all if those we train here didn't clear off abroad to get jobs http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/5063a2a0-b651-11e1-8ad0-00144feabdc0.html#axzz2MK5sOvef NHS suffers ‘brain drain’ of doctors The National Health Service is suffering a “brain drain” of doctors as more medics trained at taxpayers’ expense choose to pursue their careers overseas, according to Financial Times research. Most go to Australia or New Zealand, say recruiters and doctors’ organisations, and data suggest more now choose to stay longer or settle permanently. Tracking the numbers of medical professionals leaving and returning to the UK is difficult because neither the government nor health industry bodies record that information. However, the number of certificates of good standing – which the UK’s General Medical Council issues at a doctor’s request and are necessary to take up a post in another country – has risen steadily since records began in 2008. Since then, more than 8,000 people have requested such certificates for Australia and New Zealand alone. The question must be as to why our doctors prefer to find work abroad when foreign doctors are attracted to work here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wednesday1 Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 The question must be as to why our doctors prefer to find work abroad when foreign doctors are attracted to work here. Surely the answer to that is obvious, some of our doctors (though they are very well paid in this country) seek higher living standards so they may emigrate to the wherever and people from under developed countries come here, for the same reason.

So why isn't this country providing living standards comparable to other countries for our doctors ? What is more attractive about other countries apart from the weather ? What is unattractive about this country to cause them to leave ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think british doctors salaries are already among the best in the world, so must be for other reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gnvqsos Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 I agree with you and the other reason is what needs identifying. They migrate to broaden their experience,and some work overseas for altruistic motives,making comparable pay irrelevant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeMaquis Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 I agree with you and the other reason is what needs identifying. People emigrate for all kinds of reasons. You could ask why anyone would want to stay in the same country all their life rather than seek something new and different abroad. Going to live abroad can be great if you want to start a new life and experience a new challenge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retep Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 NHS suffers ‘brain drain’ of doctors "Many of the young medics have failed to secure jobs in the UK because there are more places in medical schools than jobs available and they are not sufficiently experienced to practise privately." http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/5063a2a0-b651-11e1-8ad0-00144feabdc0.html#axzz2MNpwObMT Makes you wonder how foreign doctors get jobs here, is it because they are cheaper.
