In this article, we reflect on factors which may tempt psychiatrists to move from working in the UK to Australia. A comparison between the UK and Australian healthcare systems is presented. Following this, G.W. offers personal reflections on his transition between working in the UK and Australia, including an experience of being a patient, the benefits of working and training in the respective countries, and personal sacrifices which must be considered. We conclude that individual clinicians must weigh up the positives and negatives of the system which they want to work within, with the best option for each person being specifically individual to them.
在本文中，我们思考了可能诱使精神科医生从英国转至澳大利亚工作的因素。文中对英国和澳大利亚的医疗体系进行了比较。在此之后，G.W. 分享了他从在英国工作过渡到在澳大利亚工作的个人感悟，包括作为患者的经历、在各自国家工作和培训的益处，以及必须考虑的个人牺牲。我们得出结论，个体临床医生必须权衡他们想要工作的体系的利弊，对每个人来说最佳选择因个人而异。
