Aussie docs urged to work for the NHS - in land of Harry Potter, Shakespeare and Manchester United

Aussie docs urged to work for the NHS - in land of Harry Potter, Shakespeare and Manchester United Health chiefs will attempt to recruit doctors from Down Under with a new campaign urging them to come to the land of Shakespeare, Harry Potter and Manchester United.

Australian GPs are being targeted by the new drive, in a desperate bid to plug shortages of family doctors across England.

In September 2015, then-Health Secretary, Jeremy Hunt, pledged there would be 5,000 extra GPs in England by 2020. But since then the number of full-time doctors in the workforce has fallen.

The new social media campaign will attempt to persuade doctors abroad to come to the NHS and work for “a national treasure”. The Telegraph
