Overseas doctors are playing an important role in the successful running of the NHS. They represent one-third of the total number of UK doctors and include doctors from the European Economic Area and international medical graduates. The main aim of this review is to explore the challenges that overseas doctors might face when they take up their first job in the UK. We conducted literature search using MEDLINE and EMBASE databases. The inclusion and exclusion criteria were designed to include published literature concerning overseas doctors in the UK and the NHS. Lack of information about the UK health system; language and communication challenges; clinical, educational and work-culture challenges; and discrimination challenges are some of the difficulties that overseas doctors might experience. Understanding these challenges and providing support are important steps in helping overseas doctors to make a smooth transition.
海外医生在英国国家医疗服务体系（NHS）的成功运作中发挥着重要作用。他们占英国医生总数的三分之一，包括来自欧洲经济区的医生和国际医学毕业生。本综述的主要目的是探讨海外医生在英国开始第一份工作时可能面临的挑战。我们使用MEDLINE和EMBASE数据库进行了文献检索。纳入和排除标准旨在纳入有关英国海外医生和NHS的已发表文献。对英国医疗系统缺乏了解、语言和沟通方面的挑战、临床、教育和工作文化方面的挑战以及歧视方面的挑战是海外医生可能遇到的一些困难。了解这些挑战并提供支持是帮助海外医生顺利过渡的重要步骤。
