Venue:  Council Chamber, Royal College of Physicians, 11 St Andrew’s Place, London NW1 4LE

MigrationThis seminar will discuss the interaction between migration and the NHS, in terms of both usage and the delivery of healthcare in the UK. To what degree is the NHS dependent on migrants who comprise a significant proportion of its workforce? What does charging for healthcare mean in regards to human rights, public health and economic terms? And, what are the healthcare implications for the UK of the current refugee crisis?

Join us for an interactive debate: put your questions to our panel of speakers, and share your point of view. There will be a drinks reception afterwards for further discussion and networking.

Dr Philipa Mladovsky, London School of Economics
