How General Practice can support International Medical Graduates


Listen Later

Doctors Lisa and Sara were delighted to interview Dr Sylvia Kama-Kieghe, a GP based in Sheffield with an interest in Women’s Health. She is the Chair of the Royal College of General Practice North of England International Medical Graduates Group. We start with what the group does, why it was set up and look at issues International Medical Graduates might face when working and training in the UK. We consider what practices, staff and supervisors can do to help make International Medical Graduates feel welcome and supported so that the experiences for all can be positive. 

 

A useful listen for all working in Primary Care and specifically those new to Practice in the UK and to Educational and Clinical GP Supervisors.
