Healthcare for refugees and asylum seekers

The treatment of people fleeing war, persecution and poverty has had a lot of coverage in the news and has been a major issue in referendums and elections in the UK and other nations for many years.

 Is this an issue that should concern us, both as Christians and health professionals? What are the issues, and how do we address them?

 In this episode, Steve Fouch will be talking with Dr Becky McFarlane about her work in providing healthcare to refugees and asylum seekers in Glasgow.

Becky and Steve refer to several resources that can help you engage with the issues raised in the podcast:

• The No Accommodation Network (NACCOM) at https://naccom.org.uk/
• The Doctors' of the World safe surgeries toolkit
• Welcome Churches - no refugee alone
• Jubilee-Plus
• CMF & Integritas Health + Justice Track
• CMF Refugee & Asylum Seekers Health course 
• CMF Brief on healthcare charging in the UK for people with insecure immigration status
