Perspectives from... Displaced doctors
Episode 14, Apr 20, 2022, 09:00 AM
#TeamGP Perspectives are peer-to-peer conversations digging into anything and everything general practice. This episode is part of a special series for Refugee Week in June 2022, where we speak to doctors displaced by conflict and hear their journey and experiences.
Listener warning: This episode may contain some descriptions of war and conflict.
According to the BMA's latest figures, there are approximately 2,000 refugee doctors in the UK, many of whom pursue GP training to rebuild and continue their clinical career under a medical care system new to them.
We hear from three doctors, displaced by conflict and listen to their personal journeys, experiences and hopes for the future.
