Description:
As many as 30% of doctors working for the National Health System of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland have obtained their primary qualifications from a country outside the European Union. Factors driving this migration of doctors to the UK is not fully understood and merit continuing exploration. Our objective was to obtain training and employment profile of UK doctors who obtained their primary medical qualification outside the European Union (non-European doctors) and to assess self-reported reasons for their migration.
