NHS Borderlands

The Doctors' Association UK

An exclusive screening of NHS Borderlands

Screening and Discussion of the movie ‘NHS Borderlands’, hosted by DAUK, Migrants Organise, MedAct and Patients not Passports groups. This event is part of our NHS Overseas Workers Day Celebration. The screening is also integral to our campaign to end the Hostile Environment in the NHS and beyond, to raise awareness on the various issues faced by migrant NHS health workers in the UK, and to highlight the human impact of NHS charges on migrants. The short film explores the story of Angela, who fled persecution in Zimbabwe only to be subjected to Hostile Environment immigration policies in the UK and charged £8,000 for vital medical care. But Angela, like many others, is not allowed to work or claim benefits, and is among the poorest people in our society. Angela’s story expresses the reality of many migrants in the UK. Doctors on visas are often subjected to NHS charges if they have adult dependents living with them, affecting their ability to work in the UK. DAUK’s Dr Deanna Evans will be sharing her experiences in the Q&amp;A session following the screening, and we will also have speakers from various migrants rights groups offering advice and insight.
