Abstract

As the NHS continues to experience rising demand, it is absolutely vital that we continue to recruit and retain a world-class workforce to deliver the best possible patient care – and international doctors will continue to play an important role in this. Effective workforce plans and policies must be in place to ensure that overseas doctors can continue to work in the UK.
