I don’t understand what the dude is saying but I read this..

It warned that UK recruiters are not permitted to actively recruit from these countries unless there is a government to government agreement in place for managed recruitment.

So run your checks well..

Goodluck!

You can't pay them well , you can't leave them to find better life elsewhere, which kind wicked people be this



Leave Nigerians alone they are very wicked people, if the western world were to shift positions with Africa I'm sure Nigerians wouldn't have allowed them the luxury of using cars, internet, televisions and medicine,they are too wicked for that! The mistake whites made was to treat everyone equal, that's y u see a African that hasn't or didn't develop his country would come to US and be dragging rights with the people there shouting equality! That's y see Africans talk trashing whites and calling them racists on TVs, microphones they didn't invent

It's sad that the western world gives medical aids to Africa yet "takes" their medical personnel. Who's to blame? The Europeans and Americans that employ skilled people (who willingly applied) to serve their countries or the doctors that leave their home countries after getting trained by their local institutions in search of greener pastures?

They don't take anybody please. Labour must be allowed to be freely offered in a moral society otherwise it becomes slavery. If African countries cannot offer their medical personnel a conducive environment to practice then it is their own fault.

As a Nigerian living in Nigeria, this is great news.

It would be foolish if you a Nigerian is supporting a mass Exodus of your medical practioners.

---This news is very old---between 2018 and now quite a number of health workers have been recruited to work in UK---there is even an NHS Trust that just recently, early this year welcomed nurses from Nigeria, Philippines and India---

Although it is not good that there is brain-drain from Nigeria---however if these health workers are treated with respect and paid well---they won't be forced to take their services overseas---

There is 1 doctor to every 1000 Nigerians.
That is how bad the stats are.
And that is just among the General practioners.

And then when you take it to more specialised health care, the stats become even grimmer.

There are less than 70 Neurosurgeons in Nigeria.

This is in a country with high rate of road accidents.

And one of the Neurosurgeons died this year due to ambulance not having first aid kit for asthma.

I'm guessing your problem is with the "writing section" as is the case with most people.
I'm sure you already have a lot of input but if you need extra eyes I may be able to spot some problems and hopefully help correct some of them.

This is not a new news, it has been in law.

The NHS does not actively recruit from Nigeria

As long as a Nigerian doctors passes all required exams, he or she can apply for a job in the Uk.

This does not break the rules.

This is a case study.

A nurse or doctor from Nigeria applies to work in the NHS unassisted. He is interviewed by the trust and deemed successful for the post, subsequently travelling to the UK on receipt of his visa. This activity did not include any active recruitment therefore does not contravene the code of practice


All Nigerian doctors fall in this category of the case study.
You got it right sir, its not a new news and thats why its easier for a nurse to get employed in UK than a doctor. A friend who is a consultant in a federal hospital here in Nigeria is unable to live with his wife who got employed in Uk. because he cannot be employed there and so he chose to be visiting his family there every 4 months.

Not exactly, the issue is the UK does not cosider itself to have enough doctors.

Plus many UK doctros are also emigrating...mostly to Australia and New Zealand. Better 'work-life balance'

Add the fact that the UK itself does not have enough spaces to train its own doctors at home (according to a former UK minsiter of health, it would cost approx $120000 to add one training space for a doctor in a UK medical school)

Thaty's why the UK is taking a lot of Nigerian doctors....

At the same time, the UK government also thinks that they are doing the wrong thing by depriving thrid world countries of trained medical staff...hence this directive.

Why cant black people develop their continent and stop running from pillar to post
How many white men are in Africa for hustling?? In Europe and USA Nigerians are there constituting nuisance.
In the law of creation, black man is created to serve the white people.
We do not produce anything. We are only good at speaking grammar
Today, the whites are in mars while the black people are busy talking politics on how to steal

Well, a fun reason why Nigerian doctors are in high demand in the UK is because a lot of white british doctors are emigrating themselves...to Austrailia.

Emigration is hardly a black man thing.

It is actually 4 doctors per 10000 patients....ie 1 to 2500 doctors.

The ratio gets worse when you go into the rural areas.

And like you said...we don't have enough specialists too. (Hey, we are better than Ghana , which at one time had 4 psychiatrists for the whole country! And at the time I heard that stat, one had retired!)

Better, all doctors to his/her own country.

When I become the president, I'll ban all doctors, nurses, engineers, programmers and scientists from relocating from the country. They are free to go on vacations.

Even if you 'put all in place' it may not necessarily stop doctors emigrating

One reason why UK is taking so many foreign docs is because their own docs are emigrating enmasse from the UK.
