Refugee doctors are a potentially valuable addition to the medical workforce in the UK. Despite this, they often have trouble getting jobs. An innovative structured clinical attachment scheme resulted in 17 out of 29 refugee doctors being appointed to jobs. Details of the scheme and the factors which may have influenced this outcome are discussed in this article.
This study describes a strategy for the integration of overseas doctors with different professional and cultural backgrounds. A central induction course, complementing local trust-based induction programmes, was developed and evaluated by the London Deanery. Most participants found the course helpful, and their comments were used to further improve it.
