There is a dentist crisis in the UK currently. If you are a dentist in Nigeria, just use any means to be in the UK. You are highly sought after. So many agencies, even the NHS, are looking for them to hand over sponsorship to them. Even the UK government is offering them £20,000 to set up practice in certain areas.

Someone I know wanted to pull a tooth and had to wait a month to get it done. Forget the hype of nurses.
This life no balance the UK doctors are running to Arab countries where they pay more while Nigerians doctors are running to UK were they over use them and pay less .

I use to advise people from travelling abroad especially through education as the cost is too much and job issue. Majority of this people come to study courses that won't pay off and this universities charges high to cash out.

But u see dentist.... They don't have dentist.
Someone I work with waited over a month to see one.

Anyone that is a dentist in Nigeria should not wast time... He will surely get job with sponsorship
I know of a friend whose son is a dentist married to a dentist, the last time i asked him about the couple, i was shocked to learned that they are still in Nigeria. I was thinking the couple ll have left the shores of the country immediately after their wedding. Sha i don't know what's keeping them.

This is the simple solution but useless APC government won't do that, instead they are busy writing petition to WHO to stop western countries from recruiting Nigerian healthcare professionals claiming that we don't have enough Doctors, Nurses, etc which made WHO to place Nigeria on red list of "do not recruit" making it difficult for Nigerian healthcare professionals now to secure job abroad from Nigeria, whereas we have more than enough idle, jobless, unemployed youths we can encourage to study medical related courses and export them abroad.


APC and their useless leaders are a curse to Nigerian, no innovative or creative thinking, they just want every Nigerian to remain in Nigeria and suffer their mismanagement and misrule angry

You people will blame APC for everything. Who do Una this obidients? You use the time u will use to better your life to start abusing and supporting politicians who never know of your existence. Continue. Did the APC you are talking about the people that ruled Nigeria from 199 to 2015? Focus on the topic and leave politics for political section.

Nothing like hype.

For every one doctor or other healthcare professional you’ll ever need, you’ll need about 4 nurses.

When the dentist carries out complicated procedures that can’t be done on outpatient basis, who cares for the patient?

Nurses earn less. Band 5 earning 2300. While dentist could earn as high as 70k to 150k pounds per year. Not joking.
I was searching for jobs via sponsorship. I see dentist needed everywhere. I was shocked to the marrow.

I began to read online why the sponsorship.. I now discovered the shortage. And it seems they are making a law to allow foreign dentist practice without exams just their home license

This is one of the most brilliant things I have read on Nairaland in ages.

ShenTeh:
My wife and I were just discussing this just 2 nights ago.

This is very true.

I have also stated that human capital export is possibly one of the Industries that our government need to tap into.

With over 200m population, our universities need to increase the number of people admitted to study medicine.

A country like the UK does not even have enough young ones who are willing to study medicine, and they'll throw anything at such a gesture, yet Nigerian universities keep discouraging our younger ones.

Apart from the local demand for medical practitioners, the international demand is heavier. I believe the universities' quota systems should be expanded.

Mumu boy, what you don't know you ask question.


It is APC government under Buhari that petitioned WHO to stop western countries from recruiting our healthcare professionals that we don't have enough instead of working towards producing more medical professionals that we can export.



Tinubu came and stopped Doctors and nurses from migrating abroad to work through some draconian policies and you are here blabbing rubbish that you know nothing about sad

When people who declear themselves jobless are handed over 2500 pounds per month upwards. Imagine a couple receiving 5k per month etc while refusing to work.

While same nurses are earning same 2300 or even lesser per month while sweating their ass out.

If u are in their shoe u will decide to just relax after all u will get paid at end of the month. Most that stopped working during the covid months didn't return back as they get used to free money

And some don't even pay house rent as they inherited real estate from Papa. Where I stay in Ramsgate, there are these two ladies (siblings) that are just flexing their lives up and down on govt benefits and real estate inheritance

imagine wickedness. I'm sure you are been trained for free at a federal government University where the federal government pays majority of your fees. Why did you not try studying medicine in the UK at first and see if you would even gain admission. Or even if you would be able to afford the tuition fees which could cost upwards 50000 pounds. The federal government should just stop this free tuition of a thing

The big question remains, why are their citizens not interested studying those things or taking those jobs?

Most of these countries health workers are foreigners, why are the citizens not interested?
Good question, because their citizens lack nothing like immigrants, they just want to enjoy their lives without stress, working long hours and the salary is too cheap, £20,000 is not a lot of money to smell people's bad breaths as a Dentist and cannot sustain their living as cost of living is very high in the UK, but there is something UK Dentists do, they migrate Australia where the pay
is better and cost of living are affordable


£20,000 is just around £1350 a month after tax.
Re: Japa: There Is A Dentist Crisis In UK. by Calitoscassius(m): 5:34pm On Apr 01
Unu think becoming a Dentists is easy, you hsve to train for 8 years atleast.


And £20,000 is not a lot of money, considering the long hours, stress and hight cost of living.

£20,000 you d end up with £1300 after taxes and N insurance.

If you are really exposed and have a positive mindset, my initial comment condemning useless Nigerian politicians managing the country shouldn't have bothered you.


Do you know how APC and her useless government policies are destroying and slowing down Nigerian youths' life?


How do you explain the fact that small broke Benin Republic, Togo are not on WHO red list of countries western nations must not recruit medical professionals from, but Nigeria a bigger country with huge population and resources is on the red list, all because useless APC government petitioned WHO to stop western countries from recruiting medical professionals from Nigeria instead of them looking for ways to increase the number of medical professionals Nigeria produces such that we will have more than enough to export abroad and earn huge FX to grow our nation?

It's because you are poor that you think the money health care workers earn abroad is huge. Their children are interested in making millions which they are making and not peanuts and getting controlled by an idiots in the office. Working is slavery for rich people

Kid check countries on red list before you start typing r*bbish. You people are filled with us*less emotions and failed to be logical. You think the red list country was caused by buhari APC? Let me educate you kid, the list was released in 2001 and they keep updating it. Was APC in government in 2001? Get a life and leave government out of your fr*stration. Even with the red list, NHS still recruit from Nigeria. Work hard and pray to God to bless. Stop imposing your lazy a** on government.

Yeye APC politician forming elder lol

Common sense he doesn't have.


For your information, WHO updated the red list last year April and put Nigeria back after APC's led demonic government under Buhari petitioned WHO again reminding them that Western countries are still recruiting medical professionals from Nigeria despite the shortage in Nigeria.


The same APC demonic government under Tinubu forced Nurses and Midwifery Council of Nigeria to make a new draconian policy to stop Nigerian nurses from seeking for job abroad by making it compulsory for a Nigeria nurse seeking for job abroad to first spend at least 2 years practicing in Nigeria. It didn't stop there. They also said the Nurse must first write to the CMD of the hospital she is working to get approval and also go back to her school of nursing or university to obtain approval from her HOD and then submit them to NMC to approve before they can start the process of migrating abroad to work and a demon possessed evil APC politician like you see nothing wrong in it

Since Togo and Benin republic is not their in your own analysis, then what are they doing in the reality list I shared with you kid? The only thing your likes knows is insult, I pray you grow one day. You brought politics in a discussion that is entirely focused on japa. Instead of you to better your life, you choose insult. I ask again, what is Togo and Benin republic doing in the list because for you, they are heaven on earth and don't have any business to be in the red list country. Na only shit hole like Nigeria deserve to be in the list due to your hatred for your country and its leader simply because your Messiah lost an election. Continue, 2027 is around the corner. Oya insult me is in your DNA.
