Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Hospital Doctor Retention and Motivation Project: Discussion
Dr. Niamh Humphries:
That would make a lot of sense. We could offer people who have emigrated a contract to come home to and tell them that after their emigration, we have a contract for them here. That would mean those who emigrate would know there is a limit to the time they need to remain abroad. That would be well received by the medical workforce who are looking for stability and security. If Sláintecare contracts were available to those who are nearing the end of their training, it would be a good offer to encourage retention and encouraging professionals to return after a fellowship.
