What is this country coming to?

Are you telling me that you or your wife have the time to browse all your patients records to find out where they were born?
How many patients does your doctor have?
I don't because I don't work there and neither does my wife anymore as she has moved on to a NHS hospital but part of her job was to maintain the records. Doctor had just over 2,000 patients on their books so a pretty small suburban practice. Other health care specialists that worked in inner city practices say they were far, far worse.

Now, I know I'll never, ever, convince any non-believers here so just go ahead and believe what you like.
 
Hey, noseall, isn't the work 'fook' or something similar missing somewhere in your name?

Still waiting for someone with actual NHS experience to add to this thread. Even a direct close relatives experience will do. No friend of a friend though.

Noseall did have to go to A&E a little while back when his designer lycra shorts forced his meat and two veg back into his body..

That's why he has a funny walk...

My brother and his wife are both radiographers - well, she now works in the breast unit. Both work in London.
My dear old school friend who I've known since I was 11 years old is a consultant ophthalmologist in London.

My dear old friend has never mentioned 'foreigners' as being a problem. Perhaps because she's married to an Eastern European chap? But more likely because she doesn't see foreigners are a problem.
My brother and his wife have never mentioned 'foreigners' as being much of a problem. Quickly thinking I can remember my brother complaining that the NHS had employed a new porter who didn't more than a few words of English. He found it frustrating that someone had employed someone clearly not suitable because porters really help with the smooth running of depts.

The only things I have heard recently are from my brother of the state of the NHS. He is over-worked, stressed, peed off with targets and especially managers sticking their oars in when they've never spent much time on the 'shop floor'. He's so stressed out that he's dropped a day a week, now works a 4 day week. I certainly haven't heard him moan about treating non-British folk or saying they are the cause - neither has his missus.

Perhaps they're too nice? Perhaps they're too careful. My sis in law maybe, but my brother is pretty honest.
 
Perhaps this long-serving NHS consultant surgeon is talking bulls hit as well?

He's certainly very short on numbers and evidence. Do you suppose he doesn't like foreigners?

Here are some numbers for you.

"NHS staff from overseas: statistics
Published Monday, April 10, 2017
12% of NHS staff in England are nationals of a country other than the UK. This includes 5.5% (just over 60,000) who are nationals of other EU countries.

Nationals of other EU countries make up almost 10% of doctors in England's hospital and community health services. They also make up 7% of all nurses and almost 5% of scientific, therapeutic and technical staff."

http://researchbriefings.parliament.uk/ResearchBriefing/Summary/CBP-7783

"The NHS Digital data also shows an increase in other members of NHS staff leaving the health service. In total, 6,391 EU workers quit in the three months after the EU referendum, compared with 4,125 in the same period in 2015 – a 55% increase. The increase in the number of EU staff employed by NHS England in the same period was 15%."

"Figures from the Nursing and Midwifery Council show a 90% drop in the number of nurses from EU states registering to join in December."

Nurses from Europe are turning their backs on Britain, according to new figures showing the number registering to work here since the Brexit referendum has fallen by 90 per cent.

Just 101 nurses and midwives from other European nations joined the register to work here last month - a drop from 1,304 in July, the month immediately after the referendum, official figures show."
