Foreign trained doctors receive sustained public and political scrutiny.
But international medical graduates are not a marginal presence in the NHS, they are essential, say JS Bamrah and Joydeep Grover

The contributions of international medical graduates rarely receive the same prominence as individual cases of misconduct, say JS Bamrah and Joydeep Grover

First UKRDC meeting
It has been a privilege today to carry the voices of IMGs into the heart of the decision-making room. Without your engagement and support, we would not be able to do this.
We will continue to advocate, and push for stronger representation for IMGs in the BMA.
@RobLaurensonD4P@bmj_latest@KamranAbbasi I read your comment twice. On the third reading, I understood that it wasn’t meant to be understood on the first or second, nor the third!
1️⃣ On 18 August, our BMJ Opinion was published. It became the most-read piece on https://t.co/LWDs7A1mIl from 18–21 August and has received over 14,000 views.

Great and sophisticated analysis of the post-prioritisation era and how the @NHS should retain its recruited international workforce. Lessons here to the @BMAResidents and the @TheBMA to develop sound policies, driven by research, rather exclusionary & politically-driven trends.
New @bmj_latest Analysis: supporting UK graduates and credible progression for IMGs must be planned together—or brain gain risks becoming waste, strain and drain.
We’d be keen to hear the perspectives of @BAPIOUK and @TheDA_UK.

A comprehensive analysis following the implementation of the UKG prioritisation Act and its consequences on IMG doctors in the NHS. It suggests credible and reliable policies to reduce these consequences. Every decision-maker should read this analysis carefully, specially @TheBMA
We must act quickly and fix #IMG recruitment in the UK or risk moving to a cycle of “brain gain-waste-strain-drain.” Details in our (@JJLim_MedEd ) Analysis paper in the @bmj_latest . Pre-print published online today.

Read our recent piece in the BMJ:
Two years of NHS service is an equitable benchmark for international medical graduates to access specialty training https://t.co/1HuhqoH5RN
@TheBMA@DHSCgovuk@NHSEngland
Very beautiful piece by the authors.
The success every intervention is measured by the outcomes.
However the outcomes must be logical.
Chasing a predetermined competition ratio via exclusion is a race to the bottom. Anti-competence and discriminatory.

Three Clocks and a Restless Pendulum
A cut-off date.
Two years.
Settlement.
Five years.
Perhaps something else tomorrow.
From one promise of fairness to the next.
The clocks move only forward.
The pendulum does not.

Tomorrow, IMGs will protest outside BMA House.
ARM was the breaking point, where the BMA crushed IMGs politically.
