The History of migrant doctors and other migrant health workers in the NHS: defining a research agenda?

24/06/2009 - 11:00
24/06/2009 - 15:30

Seminar organised by the University of Manchester and the Open University

Venue: National Primary Care Research and Development Centre, University of Manchester

The development and expansion of the NHS over the sixty years of its existence has to a great extent relied on the labour of thousands of migrant doctors. In spite of this, there has been to date relatively little work devoted to examining the experiences of these doctors and how they have shaped medicine in the UK. This seminar will be an opportunity to hear about some of the research that is currently seeking to bridge this gap. It also aims to bring together those with a research interest in this field and related areas, such as migrant nurses and other health professionals, to share perspectives and explore avenues for further work, including comparative approaches and collaborations.

Attendance is free but numbers are limited.
