  1. The point about the medical employment aspect of immigration rings out with me, I work in the NHS, my wife was an ITU nurse for 25 years and has since gone into Nurse Education. We see all sides of this in our house. This isnt just about nursing, its all aspects of the NHS staffing. Here are some basics from my point of view: 1. The NHS is riven with "medical professionals" from Africa and Asia who were trained to a standard appropriate to those areas within the means available to those areas, these are the ones with "verifiable" competencies, there are plenty more in a competency "grey area". There are also societal, historical and cultural problems associated. 2. On the other hand we hold our "indigenous" people in the UK to incredibly (in my opinion unreasonably) high standards before they are allowed to practice. The idea of medical practice being a Vocation of compassion aligned with a good sense of safety and "apprenticeship" appears lost now in especially the nursing education sector. The two differing systems meet and the differences are starkly opposed. The idea i suppose is that Number 2 will make up for, and through some form of osmosis "bring up" the standard of Number 1. The reality is the other way round, Number 1 does what it likes, how it likes, and will complain bitterly about perceived ill treatment if Number 2 tries to get an honest, professional day out of the vast majority of number 1. Here's a further reality - the NHS management from the level of Band 7 to the Trust Chiefs are not on the side of Number 2, mostly because they are afraid of number 1. We are told in very much other words and actions from management to "accept mediocrity" .

  2. The solutions are simple by the way, and if the politicians were willing it could see results within the famed "one election cycle".
