Brexit Has Led Nearly A Fifth Of European NHS Doctors To Make Solid Plans To Quit UK<\/b>
\nNearly a fifth of NHS doctors from the European Economic Area have already made solid plans to leave the country following the\u00a0Brexit\u00a0vote, according to new research.<\/p>\n

A total of 12,000 doctors – nearly 7.7% of the medical workforce\u00a0– is from the EEA and 18% of them have made plans to leave, the British Medical Association (BMA) found. A total of 45% are considering it.<\/p>\n

Among the 1,720 doctors surveyed, those who were considering leaving said post-Brexit hostility towards EU nationals and potential changes to immigration rules were why they wanted to go.<\/p>\n

It comes amid fears over how Brexit could hit the NHS\u2019 ability to recruit staff, after a 67% rise in the number of EU nurses and midwives leaving in the past year.<\/p>\n

In September, NHS Digital revealed nearly 10,000 doctors, nurses and support staff from the EU had quit in the previous year, an increase of 22%, as the NHS struggles to fill vacancies.<\/p>\n

The EEA covers the EU and other states signed up to freedom of movement, which Britain is set to abandon after Brexit.<\/p>\n

One of the BMA survey respondents, Dr Marco Nardini,\u00a0said he faced \u201cnegative attitudes\u201d since the Brexit referendum in June last year.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne patient at the end of a consultation started talking about the referendum outcome, saying it was a good thing as it would restrict immigration – I don\u2019t think he realised that he was talking to a foreigner,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI agreed and smiled while saying goodbye and gave him by best wishes as usual, but it made me very sad.\u201d<\/p>\n

Germany, Spain and Australia are the most popular choices of country to move to, the survey found.<\/p>\n

The BMA, which has called for EEA doctors to be guaranteed the right to remain and for flexible post-Brexit rules that allow others to continue to come here, warned the findings were a \u201creal concern\u201d.<\/p>\n

Dr Andrew Dearden, BMA treasurer, said:\u00a0\u201cMany have dedicated years of service to the NHS and medical research in the UK, and without them our health service would not be able to cope.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe need clarity on what the future holds for EU citizens and their families living in the UK, and an end to the uncertainty and insecurity that could see many voting with their feet.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s also vital that any future immigration system is flexible enough to ensure the NHS can recruit and retain doctors and other NHS workers in sufficient numbers.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur NHS and patient care are all the richer for having a diverse workforce – it\u2019s crucial we don\u2019t lose valuable experience and expertise because of Brexit.\u201d<\/p>\n

The survey also found 77% of EEA doctors would be more likely to leave Britain if negotiations failed to secure European citizens\u2019 rights.<\/p>\n

Dr Nardini, who moved back to Italy in August after nearly two years in Manchester and Teesside, said Brexit had been a \u201ckey factor\u201d.<\/p>\n

He added: \u201cOne of my main concerns was around whether my qualifications would continue to be recognised abroad and in the UK.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s so much uncertainty at the moment – moving back to Italy and completing my training here seemed like the safer option.\u201d
