	Project: “Attitudes towards Medical Refugees in the United Kingdom
	Dear  All,  I am a 3rd year medical student, at Oxford University, currently writing a dissertation for an intercalated BA degree.  My project is entitled “Attitudes towards Medical Refugees in the United Kingdom in the 1930/40s and 2000s" and I am being supervised by Professor Paul Weindling.  I have already interviewed a small number of doctors, who came to the UK during the second World War.  I am now looking to interview doctors who arrived in the UK during the last 10 years.   I wish to compare the challenges faced by refugee doctors today with those faced by doctors in similar circumstances 65 years ago.  I hope that you, as a member of the Refugee Doctor Liaison Group, might be able to put me in touch with refugee doctors willing to take part.  I would be particularly interested in interviewing doctors who have been in the UK for more than three years and who had to leave their home country either shortly before or just after completing their medical degree.  I would be very grateful if you could pass the attached letter onto anyone you think would be a suitable interviewee.  I do not plan to publish my work.  However, the project will be read by a team of examiners from Oxford University and, if all participants are willing, I intend to donate a copy to the Medical Refugee collection in the History of Medicine library at Oxford Brookes University.  Interviewees may remain anonymous if they so wish.  If you have any questions about my research, I am more than happy to answer them.    Many thanks,  Jenny Mullin  01865 727 938  jennifer.mullin@st-hildas.ox.ac.uk
