The Royal College of Physicians offers the use of our relevant services and resources to refugee physicians in order to try and help them practice once again in the UK. We have also offered some advice which we hope will be beneficial both to refugees, and those working with them. Details can be found in our handbook for refugee physicians:

Recognising the challenges faced by refugee doctors entering the workforce, the International Office undertook a survey of refugee physicians during the latter part of 2004. The following report is the result of this research, and we hope it will serve to highlight issues that effect refugee doctors:
