About this episode

According to the BMA's latest figures, there are approximately 2,000 refugee doctors in the UK, many of whom pursue GP training to rebuild and continue their clinical career under a medical care system new to them.

 

We hear from three doctors, displaced by conflict and listen to their personal journeys, experiences and hopes for the future.
