Off the main topic, but a ket like for everyone who always wonders why Ireland received a higher proportion of refugees than other countries in western Rurope:
“So I started searching for English-speaking countries taking refugees, that’s how we ended up in Ireland.”
>Despite finding a consultant who agreed to take her on for this unpaid role, she says the hospital’s HR manager has not responded to her application. A HSE spokeswoman said they could not comment on this individual case.
The fucking bureaucracy that kills ye
Why doesn’t she go home then?
Surely there’s a huge demand for doctors in Ukraine? Doesn’t even have to be in the army there’s enough civilian casualties from Russian missile attacks on the cities as is.
We have a medical system that is fucked and we have 330 doctors who aren’t allowed to work? Naturally no one in the HSE can comment on this.
This is so fucking preposterous that it could only be have the Irish public services at its root.
These doctors should have been fast tracked into our system as soon as they arrived. The exams etc should have been a priority
Hopefully our new health minister might actually do something. The bullshit and bureaucracy in the HSE is never ending…
The system is set up to make it hard for people to transfer in. The existing doctors and consultants etc don’t want to have a massive increase that could see demand for them decrease and potentially result in decreased compensation.
I’d probably be similarly self-interested if it was me but worth remembering when you hear some of them complaining about lack of resourcing etc.
I know someone who is a dentist from Ukraine now working in Ireland.
They had to do a conversion course and pass several exams to make sure that they were the standard required to practice in Ireland.
They did this and are now practicing in Ireland. They told me that some of the other foreign dentists (not all Ukrainian) on the course failed the exams and would not repeat them and now spend all their time complaining that it’s the Irish system that is the problem and not from their lack of knowledge in exams.
Meanwhile the ones who put in the effort and are capable are now practicing. Not sure if they needed to apply for a visa or whatever in other to work here or whether they have to have done the course even to apply for the visa.
