@Tsarina_muna @InvisibleOpey The ball game is to get everybody out. Come to think of it, these brown guys are at the forefront of everything. People that are just lucky because their ancestors bought a one-way boat ticket in the 50s.

While some people are bragging about how much they have sidelined and sabotaged IMGs including literally making them lose their jobs. Some are saying they had no input and its all the Govt. Playing ping pong with lives. Such disrespect of our collective intelligence.

If the committee is aware of overqualification criteria and how it effectively excludes IMGs from many specialties because of 5 years, then yes, it very much does factor into what the union advocates for as "significant experience" w.r.t UKGP You can't close your eyes and blame it as being a Royal College issue. This is throwing IMGs under the bus, plain and simple. Would you tell a UK grad interested in Surgery to go work in a random Medicine job for 5 years, effectively de-skilling them and unable to build a portfolio?

A reminder that there were no actual 'NEW' training posts But LED posts -mostly held by IMGs It's admission from @NHSEngland that LED posts don't have any training element to it It's also IMGs being a negotiating pawn between @DHSCgovuk @TheBMA Be more honest-everyone Ta

IMGs, it’s time to stand up against every injustice that has happened with you. For every life disrupted, for every career jeopardised, for every disrespect you faced from your UK colleagues. The strike starts in the next 48 hours. Go to work, fail the strikes.

"We must review workforce numbers and consider whether PLAB exams should be paused. IMGs need to be informed about the job situation in the NHS before they apply. We also need a fundamental review of how IMGs are being used in the NHS" Written in January 2025. And here we are in April 2026.

Significant experience is yet to be defined for IMGs, the Government will consult relevant stakeholders. The BMA (which does not do a good job of representing it's IMG members) has overturned it's ARM mandate of grandfathering to be able to push for 5 years, which would render many IMGs ineligible for specialties which have overqualification criteria in place for ST1 entry. The rules for 2026 will not apply to 2027 - so ILR and British citizen IMGs are not protected for now for the next round of applications.

You chair a team that wants to play a game with a politician, now you are crying because you are being played by the politician. You are talking about shifting goalpost like you are not the one that called an emergency meeting to defer the mandate you got in the last ARM.

At 2pm, the NHS confirmed 1000 jobs would go ahead. At 4pm, the Govt threatened to cut them? 3 weeks ago, goalposts of a pay deal suddenly shifted. Huge amounts of government game-playing. Let’s cut the government games and get a deal done to sort jobs & pay for doctors.

This is your reminder to kindly vote, if you haven’t done so. This is extremely important and possibly the last chance to have your voice heard in the council and across the table. Vote for IMG Voice endorsed candidates. United we win, divided we lose.

Are you for real BMA, showing your face at the together alliance march? You are A bunch of hypocrites!! There is nothing inclusive or un-divisive in the BMA that matches together allowance narratives. You have just campaigned and helped legislate to get rid of the overseas doctors in the UK! How could you say immigrants and refugees are welcome at the march, when your own organisation under your leadership has unwelcomed them and destroyed their careers and their progression all together. @thomasdolphin @bmj_latest @emahase_ @aakochhar #BMA

'Speak up against #Racism and it will stop you getting higher roles' 'Speak up against #PAs and it will stop you from...' Now it's 'Speak up for #IMGs and it will stop you..' Someday, some of you will realise that when I want to speak up for an issue- which I believe must be spoken about? I will. And yes, they have consequences. Yet- it's never bothered me- and never will. Below is what I had predicted. And I rarely get my predictions wrong. There is also nothing that I am hoping to attain that will stop me from speaking up. And no- it doesn't matter who doesn't. If needed? I will do it alone. Even if there is the chance of a snowball in hell's chance of success. So please- stop telling what it will cost me. I am an IMG- who has fought through much to be where I am. And the least I can do is give a voice to those who don't. YOU may not like that- but don't try to silence me.

An interesting yet pertinent DM “All these anon accounts raising issues of PAs- you know they will turn against IMGs one day. What do you do then” The answer is the same as always It doesn’t matter who you are. You object to IMGs &their progression? I will be right here.

@Frank9478968518 @TheBMA its what it is. Being an IMG and being treated differetly or being seen as 'lesser' is what I have dealt with for 27 years. And am still here. This isn't new- neither will it go away. I always shrug at any jibes- and let me work do the talking.

Dear Wes Streeting Katie's, wrong. The NHS never prioritized overseas doctors even before this bill. If an IMG and UKG apply for the same job, they always recruit UKG first Only when there are no UKGS available, that job goes to an IMG. Katie definitely needs some education

Katie’s right. This is absolutely mad. Guess who created this mess? The Conservatives. Guess which Government has just passed emergency legislation to clean up this mess: Labour. Don’t worry, Katie. Lots done, lots more to do.

It's extremely disappointing to see @wesstreeting retweeting & endorsing this without any commentary on WHY overseas trained doctors are 2.5 times more likely to get referred to the GMC. He's clearly uninformed about the GMC's own research into the huge role played by racism.
