Cuts to overseas aid will ultimately hurt Britain | Letters Letters: Readers respond to the news that some of the world’s poorest countries are going to lose aid from the UK

An honour to have met Rt. Hon Prime Minister Robinah Nabbanja this week, discussing #HealthPartnerships between Uganda & UK together with High Commissioner, H.E Nimisha Madhvani. Vital encouragement in very challenging context #globalNHS #QualityUHC #ExpertsInOurMidst

I am full of gratitude for the wisdom & direction of H.E Ambassador Catherine Karemu, Kenya’s High Commissioner this morning, given as I prep for @globalhealthpart.bsky.social’s #globalhealth events in Nairobi with @drbeccycoopermp.bsky.social next month. #HealthPartnerships #CwPAMS #globalNHS #AMR

Political calls to cut immigration are a red flag for the NHS The NHS relies on global talent. Restricting migration risks staff shortages, longer waits, and poorer care for patients across the UK, writes Ben Simms

"In many areas of the UK–from East London to Leicester to Leeds–international staff are the #NHS. For diverse communities, their cultural insight can mean the difference between a patient engaging with care or slipping through the cracks." #globalNHS #HealthPartnerships www.hsj.co.uk/workforce/po...

I am grateful to Primrose Magala for allowing me to celebrate her achievements in this blog @hsj.co.uk. Truly, one of the #ExpertsInOurMidst. An outstanding individual improving life for patients at home here in the UK, & at home, there in Uganda. Thank you Primrose. 🙏 #globalNHS

This morning I have travelled from the Philippines to Poland via Iran. How so? I had a 30 minute appointment at an #NHS hospital. Where would the NHS be without its internationally recruited staff?Thanks to each & every one. #globalNHS #ONHSWD #NHSInternational #ExpertsInOurMidst

The NHS has much to learn from its overseas staff Diaspora health workers are a vital bridge between global health systems. Yet, their expertise remains underutilised. It's time for policy change to unlock their full potential, writes Ben Simms
