The Medical Support Worker Scheme for Refugee Doctors (MSW scheme) is a partnership initiative, set up in 2021, seeking to support experienced doctors with refugee status who have been ‘out of practice’ and are wishing to pursue a future medical career within the NHS.
The MSW scheme is able to support doctors while they secure their GMC registration by offering them paid roles, where they can learn about the NHS and continue to develop their clinical skills in preparation to enter the workforce in roles as senior clinicians. In their medical support worker role they can, while supervised, carry out a number of clinical tasks that help boost much needed workforce capacity to care for patients.
More than 400 doctors joined the NHS as part of the scheme before the funding expired in March 2023, and despite the current lack of funding, interest still remains high among many NHS Trusts.
This webinar looked at how the MSW scheme is working, showcase learning from some NHS Trusts who have already taken part, sharing how it has worked in practice and the benefits they’ve seen, and explore the current opportunities for the scheme and how interested NHS Trusts can get involved. The aim is to encourage more Trusts to take part.
