Recent International Publications- International Recruitment of Health Workers to the Uk: A Report for Dfid (original) (raw)

Whilst the issue of international migration of health workers is sometimes presented as a one-way linear "brain drain", the dynamics of international mobility, migration and recruitment of health workers re complex, covering individual choice, motivations and attitudes to career development; the relative status of health workers in different systems; the differing approaches of country governments to managing, facilitating or attempting to limit outflow or inflow; and the role of recruitment agencies as intermediaries in the process. The study is based on analysis of published and unpublished data provided by professional registration bodies and government departments, combined with information from organizational case studies in the NHS, and key informant interviews in the UK, Ghana and Barbados, with international recruitment agencies, and with international organisations.
