ABSTRACT The National Health Service in the UK has always had a large number of doctors from the Indian subcontinent partly due to historical reasons and partly for training purposes. Inevitably there has been an ebb and flow of people choosing to come to the UK for training and work. As a result of colonial influences on both traditional and allopathic medicine there has been a complex relationship between healthcare systems and practitioners in these settings. Indian doctors often ended doing unpopular specialities and in less popular places which sometimes contributed to a lack of career progression. In this paper a historical account is provided and certain issues are raised. The political and economic contexts cannot be ignored while understanding the functioning and contribution of Indian doctors. Racism experienced by doctors from overseas cannot be ignored.
期刊介绍:
This title has ceased (2018). This important peer-review journal provides an innovative forum, both international and multidisciplinary, for addressing cross-cultural issues and mental health. Culture as it comes to bear on mental health is a rapidly expanding area of inquiry and research within psychiatry and psychology, and other related fields such as social work, with important implications for practice in the global context. The journal is an essential resource for health care professionals working in the field of cross-cultural mental health.Readership includes psychiatrists, psychologists, medical anthropologists, medical sociologists, psychiatric nurses and social workers, general practitioners and other mental health professionals interested in the area. The International Journal of Culture and Mental Health publishes original empirical research, review papers and theoretical articles in the fields of cross-cultural psychiatry and psychology. Contributions from the fields of medical anthropology and medical sociology are particularly welcome. A continuing dialogue between members of various disciplines in various fields is encouraged. The aim of the journal is to encourage its readers to think about various issues which have clouded cross-cultural development of ideas. The journal lays special emphasis on developing further links between medical anthropology, medical sociology, clinical psychiatry and psychology, and implications of the findings on service provisions. The journal is published four times a year. The style of reference is Harvard. All research articles in this journal, including those in special issues, special sections or supplements, have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymized refereeing by at least two independent referees.
