Overseas Doctors in UK: We must face up to the cause of so much waste – our patients

http://overseasdocsinuk.blogspot.com/2011/10/we-must-face-up-to-cause-of-so-much.html

Overseas Doctors in UK. Saturday, 1 October 2011. We must face up to the cause of so much waste – our patients. Amid the gloom of budget squeezes and low morale, the big question is what can be done to save one of the finest health systems in the world? We all blame many of the current constraints on it, but are afraid to talk about it. It is politically unpopular to look at some of the patient-related factors that waste billions. Having worked in another healthcare system where you pay for each and ever...

Overseas Doctors in UK: August 2008

http://overseasdocsinuk.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html

Overseas Doctors in UK. Friday, 8 August 2008. BMA-Is it worth for an IMG. In response to your recent promotional email to recruit members, Ishall like to express my disappointment with BMA. Yes, BMA did acknowledge all the changes and impact by issuingstatements but nothing more than that. Recent report by CMO on racism clearly is evidence for failures of BMAwhether it was acts of commission or omission. I am sure many others will share my feelings. Hope to hear your viewpoint.

Overseas Doctors in UK: July 2007

http://overseasdocsinuk.blogspot.com/2007_07_01_archive.html

Overseas Doctors in UK. Sunday, 22 July 2007. Will it ever end? The contribution to NHS by migrant doctors is immense and must not be forgotten or overshadowed by hopefully isolated incidents. Statements from BMA have been timely and are most welcome. While oversees doctors should be more vigilant, our British colleagues need to appreciate this and stand shoulder to shoulder with migrant doctors. Let us hope for better times ahead.

Overseas Doctors in UK: March 2008

http://overseasdocsinuk.blogspot.com/2008_03_01_archive.html

Overseas Doctors in UK. Saturday, 22 March 2008. Court Ruling implications BMJ. Court ruling-a breather for overseas doctors. This court ruling that declared the immigration changes for IMGs(International Medical Graduates) as unlawful is finally a welcome news for overseas doctors. It is not only the court but the executive branch of United kingdom in form of a parliamentary committee, that had also criticized these changes. Though the court ruling may be justice delayed as many of affected IMGs have le...

Overseas Doctors in UK: May 2008

http://overseasdocsinuk.blogspot.com/2008_05_01_archive.html

Overseas Doctors in UK. Wednesday, 21 May 2008. Dr kamal Sidhu, GP Sunderland. Send response to journal: Re: The Uncertainty. On the positive side, the fight helped IMGs to demonstrate unity and put up symbolic resistance to unfair and unjust abrupt changes. No one disagreed that the system needed regulation but the way it was done is shameful for a developed country that has always stood for its values. Competing interests: I am a overseas trained doctor not directly affected by these changes. Still, th...

Overseas Doctors in UK: Commissioning-apathy of the silent majority.

http://overseasdocsinuk.blogspot.com/2012/08/commissioning-apathy-of-silent-majority.html

Overseas Doctors in UK. Monday, 6 August 2012. Commissioning-apathy of the silent majority. Commissioners must focus on workforce planning to engage GPs By Dr Kamal Sidhu 26 Jul 2012. As Pulse recently highlighted, it is now very obvious that on many CCG boards GPs are not even in a simple majority. Yet supposedly the greatest change under the new Health and Social Care Act was that GPs would lead the NHS. Are grassroots GPs really involved in commissioning? Labels: Publsihed in Pulse Today.

Overseas Doctors in UK: January 2012

http://overseasdocsinuk.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html

Overseas Doctors in UK. Saturday, 28 January 2012. CSA is failing international trainees. The common reasons given for candidates failing the CSA include not listening, not exploring ideas, concerns and expectations, and problems with diagnosis and treatment. But that is virtually all of the consultation. It also makes me wonder how they passed the PLAB exam and GP recruitment. Or did the system let them in to fill posts? Links to this post.

DR KAMAL SIDHU, SUNDERLAND, UK. In India, doctors are considered as almost equal to God but in the UK you are more answerable to your patients. There are good sides to the NHS, it's wonderful to be able to do your job without worrying about whether the patient can afford treatment, as is the case in India or the US. My visa ...

Overseas Doctors in UK: April 2009

http://overseasdocsinuk.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html

Overseas Doctors in UK. Thursday, 16 April 2009. MTI-another fiasco in making. How can we embark on another short-sighted plan that seems to be a knee-jerk reaction to the impending shortage in non-training posts across the trust, when memories from poor and chaotic workforce planning from the disastrous last few years are still afresh? Does that mean DOH can play with careers of such doctors? What is the desperation to go ahead without having a solid plan? Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).
