#scrapthecap Tier 2 visa caps and this government’s hostile environment continue to affec the NHS. Now, talented NHS surgeon has been forced to return to his home country of Nigeria. Sign our letter here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSemvlXFdRNYTbtGG7NpwGDBS2moYKNTQofj0z172iUUdoCExg/viewform Dr Nnaemeka Chidumijie has been working in the NHS since moving to the United Kingdom in 2013. On separating from his British wife and lapse of his spousal visa, Dr Chidumijie was advised by the Home Office to return to Nigeria on the alleged promise of returning under a Tier 2 highly skilled migrant visa. His application, sponsored by Health Education England, has now been refused FOUR TIMES. In a letter to Mr Ian Mearns MP, Dr Chidumijie's colleagues and fellow surgeons attest to his talent and describe him as "a doctor with considerable natural ability". His fellow surgeons further express frustration that the current immigration policy has "failed to recognise the contribution of this exceptional individual to the NHS and his potential to greatly benefit this country in the future" and state that the hospital he was working in has now been left "short staffed". The Doctors' Association UK are supporting Dr Chidumijie through what has been a difficult and devastating experience. Dr Chidumijie said "I am unable to return to the job I love and the place I now call home. My post in the NHS is one of many vacant positions in the NHS contributing to a staffing crisis" The Doctors' Association UK has written a letter to Theresa May on behalf of Dr Chidumijie and will continue to support his claim to return to the UK. Please consider signing and sharing to publicise his case. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSemvlXFdRNYTbtGG7NpwGDBS2moYKNTQofj0z172iUUdoCExg/viewform DAUK is determined to keep pressure on the Home Office and exempt doctors coming to work in the NHS from arbitrary visa caps. #scrapthecap Thank you for your support.
