      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.

          It’s racist pure and simple. In order to work in the nhs everyone has to be able to communicate in English to a certain level. @talkRADIO please say you’re firing this racist or are you condoning it

          It is a worry. My dad was taken in last year unconcious to have a brain scan yet a nurse who could barely speak English kept insisting to me "he go home". I pointed to my dad unconcious hooked up to wires and machines and she nodded and said "yes he go home". Unbelievable

          Those were the reasons I wrote to SoS and Department Health posing similar questions on qualifications, training, knowledge, skills and language ability. It is common sense anyone providing medical services should have relevant experience/language ability treating patients

          And always different doctors so every time you have to start the story all over again. I miss the time when I had the family doctor. The visit was 5 minuts because he knew you from birth. Can you imagine how many more patients could be treated in the same time?

          As someone who is blind, I once walked out of a medical due to not being able to understand the nurse. I tried and tried to work with her. She wasn't even an EU nurse.

          Keep going, snowflakes don't like the truth, it gets in the way of their utopia. Truth is truth. Doctors from different countries add masses to the NHS, but they have to be qualified to the same levels. Some countries are wide of the mark. #simple

          I've been complaining for ages about the BBC World Service Radio for their use of presenters whose English is excruciatingly painful. Hardly a model for the benefit of foreign listeners.
