For context this was previously a thing, but was removed by the Tories.

This should always have been a thing. UK trained medical staff usually earn less than foreign staff due to the ridiculous student debt they gather and there’s zero benefit to training in this country. The NHS has systems in place to advantage foreign staff they’ve took on: e.g. free accommodation and taxis. It’s ridiculous that internationally trained staff get preferential treatment over staff trained in the UK.

Prioritising our own medical graduates is an absolute no brainer.
UK doctors have been treated poorly for quite some time – it’s imperative that we both appropriately compensate and protect our homegrown graduates across all sectors.

It has been conveniently forgotten that Covid was the reason IMG’s got into the Uk enmasse.
Now that the pandemic is over , cannon fodder is no longer required .

You see it with nursing. Thousands of them pass every year and every health board has no vacancies yet are massively understaffed. The national vacancy is massive, yet they want agency shift fillers not permanent staff. And any permanent roles are always in the shittiest areas like geriatrics/medical wards/mental health where most people don’t want to work. The whole system seems broken.

Absolute no brainer, it was a terrible move to remove it in the first place and has resulted in a lot of the „NHS is short of staff depends on immigrants!11!“/“Doctors can’t get a job“ weird double problem we have at the moment.
