Dear Sir/Madam
In response to your recent promotional email to recruit members, Ishall like to express my disappointment with BMA.
As an international medical graduate, I feel I have been continuouslylet down by BMA in safeguarding my interests whether it was when Ineeded advice when my visa application was unfairly rejected, whetherit was stance taken by BMA when government embarked on immigrationchanges that they subsequently it lost in courts and house of lords orif it was MMC impact on IMGs.So much so. representation of IMGs in BMAis poor and I donot think if BMA has sufficient data even.
Yes, BMA did acknowledge all the changes and impact by issuingstatements but nothing more than that.
Recent report by CMO on racism clearly is evidence for failures of BMAwhether it was acts of commission or omission.
I am sure many others will share my feelings.
Until I feel BMA will safeguard my interests, I think it is a waste of money for me to join BMA .I hope things improve in future or analternative shapes up for IMGs
Hope to hear your viewpoint
Sincerely
Dr Kamal Sidhu
