UK doctors say burnout and safety are key reasons for leaving to work in UAE
Safety concerns:
Looking outside of the job, Dr Amna Khushnud - Family Medicine Consultant at Fakeeh University Hospital said the UAE's reputation for how safe it is was also a contributing factor.
“I've spoken to many British doctors who said the main factor that keeps them here is safety,” said Dr. Amna Khushnud.
“Safety, the weather and less burnout – as well as making a lot more money than you would in the NHS.
“But I do plan to go back to the UK, as do quite a lot of my colleagues who are British who want to eventually go back to work with the NHS.”
In the UAE, the Ministry of Health and Prevention (MoHAP) recently held a two-day consultative workshop in collaboration with the World Health Organisation (WHO) and Ras Al Khaimah Medical and Health Sciences University.
