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 …

And I didn’t say foreign doctors were of lesser quality. I said I’d prefer to be treated by a doctor trained in Britain. Actually all EU doctors are allowed to work in the UK. Not all countries in the EU have the same standards as we do.

I can’t speak for the doctors but my partner is a heart nurse and says the EU nurses are not trained to the high standard UK nurses are.

But it hasn't, our ability to source doctors externally has no bearing on our decisions to train locally.

No no no: you’ve made it clear it’s a conscious govt decision not to train uk doctors. You’re contradicting yourself

Absolutely crap, I've worked in healthcare for 25 years and it's our government who reduced places for training as they planned to treat more people in their homes...meaning less nurses and doctors needed....stop peddling your ill informed lies.
