The Lincolnshire Refugee Doctor Project,
aims to create the best possible scheme in Lincolnshire for supporting refugee doctors back into medical practice in the UK. This includes:
- helping them to settle with their families into Lincolnshire;
- refreshing their skills, knowledge and confidence;
- re-qualifying to UK standards and securing employment appropriate to their professional qualifications
Benefits:
The programme will deliver these benefits:
- Humanitarian support to refugee doctors and their families
- Humanitarian opportunities for people and organisations in Lincolnshire to help refugee families
- Workforce stabilisation: creating a further source of doctors for a struggling community where doctors retiring and leaving far outnumber new doctors arising
- Workforce diversification and development, inclusion of a pool of doctors with very different stories and journeys into the Lincolnshire medical environment
