Patients benefit as 800 non-EU doctors granted improved work access

Dr Liqua Ur Rehman senior paediatric registrar and founder of TrainUs4Ireland: 'In terms of staffing levels, it will decrease the shortage of staff by providing hospitals with better locum cover.'
More than 800 non-EU doctors have already been granted improved work access under a new visa system, allowing hospital patients greater access to care.
Doctors also say their change in status has reduced bullying in the workplace.
