  For further information contact The Refugee Doctor Liaison Group

The BMA convenes an informal communication and action group which brings together representatives of a wide variety of organisations and individuals currently working with refugee doctors.    The group meets three times a year with most communication outside meetings being done by email.  In many ways, the most important function of the group is to facilitate interaction amongst a loose network of interested organisations.  The group serves as a forum in which individuals and organisations can exchange information, share experiences and work together on specific projects.  It can also highlight issues and/or problems on which lobbying is needed.  As a demonstration of the amount of interest in refugee doctors, the BMA holds a contact list of nearly 200 individuals working in the field of refugee healthcare professionals.  For further information please contact Jo Waterfield, BMA International Department at jwaterfield@bma.org.uk
