Doctors in England looking to make the move to Canada amid labour unrest

Amid months of labour unrest in England, a new report published by the British Medical Journal (BMJ) has revealed that doctors and medical specialists in that country are looking to make the jump across the Atlantic, with some eyeing a move to Canada to set up their practice.

“The main reason I moved (to Canada) is because I was worried about my job security (in England). I trained in the United Kingdom, (and) did my family medicine training in the U.K. I noticed towards the end of my time there, working in the Birmingham area, (that) it was becoming difficult to work the shifts that I wanted, and financially I was forced to look elsewhere,” said Dr. Okoroh.

This Monday, June 15, doctors in England will stage a walkout, marking the 16th time they’ve held a similar job action during their long-running, months-long dispute with the government over wages and a lack of employment opportunities.

In Canada, the medical system is facing the opposite issue: not enough family doctors for patients across the country.

So the UK 'has too many Doctors and thus they don't have enough employment opportunities' - or - the UK doesn't invest enough in the NHS, thus the existing Doctors aren't able to practice their profession at 100% capacity?
“The key thing that Canada obviously has to make sure is that the process to recruit doctors is rigorous, because you’re trying to maintain a certain kind of quality of care in the country as well,” said Dr. Okoroh
