Dear group members
I am a Research Associate of a not-for-profit research company (ppre
Limited) that has been commissioned by the European Refugee Fund (ERF)
funded ARRIVE project to undertake a survey of refugee health
professionals (RHPs) in several Strategic Health Authority regions in
England.
As part of this survey we are keen to investigate the number of refugee
health professionals that are known to refugee and community
organisations, ESOL providers and other HE/FE providers. There are a
range of funded projects to support RHPs to return to employment in the
health sector as well as to support them in undertaking alternative
careers pathways.
Over the next couple of weeks we shall be contacting a number of refugee
and community organisations o see if they have any RHPs currently
working with them and who might be interested to take part in a survey
(for which they will receive a voucher for their time) but in the
meantime I would be very grateful to hear from any providers teaching
refugees that worked as health professionals (doctors, dentists, nurses
and other allied health professionals) in their home countries.
Further information about the ARRIVE project can be found below and
would be happy to discuss this further.
Many thanks
