For nearly 2 years DAUK has been lobbying to scrap the surcharge. Just 24 hours after our letter was read by Sir Keir Starmer at PMQs the Prime Minister announces that health and social care workers will be exempted from the Immigration Health Surcharge.
DAUK writes to Rishi Sunak in response to leaked plans suggesting that a further public pay freeze may be implemented post COVID-19.
The Doctors’ Association UK (DAUK) has partnered with the British Association of Physicians of Indian Origin (BAPIO) and the Association of Pakistani Physicians of Northern Europe (APPNE) in writing to the Home Secretary Priti Patel about the unfair immigration health surcharge.
DAUK lobbies the Home Office on behalf of international medical graduates asking for death in service for all, indefinite leave to remain for dependents and the scrapping of the immigration health surcharge.
DAUK is so proud to announce that we have teamed up with crowdfunders Let’s Beat COVID and NHS Heroes Support to deliver PPE to the frontlines. Over 45,000 masks, 500 gowns, as well as visors, scrubs and alcohol gel have already been ordered, and much of this has already been delivered.
DAUK is working with Protect to support doctors raising concerns either locally, or publicly during the COVID-19 pandemic.
DAUK is proud to have co-signed this joint statement from doctors’ unions and associations on lack of PPE.
