La Gran Bretagna fa affidamento sul doppio dei medici stranieri rispetto alla maggior parte dei paesi occidentali

There’s doesn’t seem to be much in the article by way of explanation, although I expect that this is essentially down to a deliberate choice in service of cost cutting. It’s clear that this is deeply harmful to both the quality of healthcare and the ability to train healthcare professionals domestically, so this is also short sighted and dangerous.

I suspect our lax immigration system that prioritises sourcing cheap and ununionised labour from overseas, and the fact that many people around the world aspire to live and work in the UK particularly also contribute, but it’s clear that this is the consequence of deliberate choice, so this can be changed now that the consequences have been recognised and are starting to bite.

As if it isn’t by design.

Make it incredibly difficult for people to have children, and then equally difficult for kids to pursue an education to the point they qualify as a doctor, and then not even fund those roles properly.

In that case, yeah, I’d imagine we’re relying on foreign doctors.

That’s what happens when you don’t invest in the educational system and allow cheaper labour from other countries. It’s cheaper to bring in than it is to grow your own.

It’s cheaper to get rubbish doctors from Nigeria than to train your own.
