Inside Our Refugee Doctors Project

Refugee and asylum-seeking doctors receiving clinical training in a hospital setting through the Lincolnshire Refugee Doctors Programme in the UK.

We are a not for profit Community Interest Company (CIC) who have been supporting refugee and asylum seeking doctors to achieve their goal of continuing their medical careers in the UK since 2019.

We help internationally trained professionals prepare for GMC registration and successful re-entry into UK medicine. When possible,we can also offer practical support to help members settle into the local community, including sourcing suitable accommodation.

We have connections with local primary and secondary care NHS Trusts who may be able to support future employment opportunities as general practitioners or within broader UK health care services dependant on their vacancy position.
