Displaced doctors face multiple barriers to achieve full registration and the right to work. Overcoming these barriers requires, in addition to clinical competence, upskilling in cultural understandings and system knowledge.  I’m delighted to support this student-led initiative led by the University of Nottingham to provide mentoring, English-language tuition and personal support to displaced doctors. I send my best wished to all participants as they work towards their goal of becoming NHS doctors, enhancing and diversifying our service and fulfilling their own hopes and dreams.
