    Julia Hartley-Brewer Retweeted Our Future, Our Choice

    I’ve been inundated with tweets calling me xenophobic and racist as a result of this @ofocBrexit tweet. But here’s why I think we should train our own young people to be doctors rather than import foreign doctors... thread.https://twitter.com/OFOCBrexit/status/1086947236192219136 …

        First there’s this... the only reason we don’t have enough British doctors to staff the NHS is because the Govt has for many years deliberately trained too few medical students. Why are we stopping young Brits from following their chosen careers?pic.twitter.com/MAVT31fzeP

        Then there’s this. Of course most doctors do a brilliant job - regardless of where they are born or trained. But the GMC does not accept all qualifications from every country for a reason. And they can still get it wrong, as these official figures from 2016 suggest.pic.twitter.com/5TgMIzB7I7

        And then there’s this. It is not xenophobia or racism to want to be abl to easily communicate with your doctor. This is a major concern for NHS patients with foreign doctors. This article is from 2016, *after* the tougher language tests were imposed.pic.twitter.com/8GNh5QZVKK

        And, finally, the issue of language barriers between patient and doctor has been raised by MPs on the Commons health select committee. Or are they all racists and xenophobes too? This article is from 2012.pic.twitter.com/NfXriTqZQr

        It should be possible to have a sensible debate in this country about issues like immigration, training and language without one side incessantly shouting “xenophobia” or “racist” at the other side. Sadly, that’s all some people have as their argument. That’s all. Enjoy your day.

        I didn’t say “British born”. I said “British trained”. You can hear it clearly at the start of the video they posted. So, yes, it has EVERYTHING to do with training. Would like to check and get back to me?

        What's wrong with putting the great back into Great Britain. Nothing. Learn the language have the skill set we require then you are welcome. No more scroungers please as we have enough already.

        They want to work here as they earn more here. Nothing wrong with that but if they can't speak English or understand it then a fatal accident will occur

        Obviously you know nothing of the PLAB test every foreign Dr has to undergo. It’s so very frustrating when people who post a comment haven’t bothered to research facts first.

        Actually, until very recently, doctors from the EU didn’t have to pass stringent language tests to work here.

        Depends on your definition of stringent, I suppose. The TRAB/PLAB test has been in effect since 1975. As far as I can make out, even EU doctors have to take part of the test to evaluate their language skills and other suitability factors for working in the UK.

        This is not a place where facts .are welcomed or even recognised.. And of course ypo are absolutely correct. EU doctors must pass the English proficiency test - it is a l requirement by the General Medical Council.

        Like it or not, most of us have had a negative experience with a medical professional who struggles to communicate in English.

        I will wait 7 years for a doctors appointment then while their being trained. You really have hit a new low. Ffs

        Who’s suggesting that? No one. We need to start the training NOW so that in the years to follow, we will have enough doctors trained here to staff most of the NHS. Really not sure what you think is complicated about that.

        I totally agree. Given the chronic shortage of doctors why is this not viable or actionable course? BTW other advanced countries are competing for those doctors so shortage is set to get even worse.
