How would No Deal Brexit affect you personally?

[Puddelchen]

What impact would no deal have on your personal circumstances? What is your personal biggest worry?
In my case it is medication which is my biggest concern.

The reason more foreign nurses can apply to register is because they've altered or removed english language tests and what can be accepted as evidence of good english skills.

To give some anecdotal context - my nursing friends have confirmed some new starters have such poor English that they have to use mine to explain things to them. Type 7 diarrhoea is apparently “hold up 7 fingers and then wave a hand by your arse”.

1tisI my townhasbproposed just such a new medical centre be built. However having completed a degree recently in the field, the idea we will be encouraging English speakers interesting...one of my senior lecturers announced to my seminar group "who wants a white middle class woman telling them about sexual health?", which was found hilarious and quite "on point". As the student who got the highest marks in the entire Sexual Health education module, it's certainly stuck with me ever since. I am shite and middle classed and needless to say it has made me wonder how useful my degree is.

Haha - shite and white!

I don't know, however, I am not sure about DOs inhalers for asthma. He uses both regularly! Not really sure if supplies will suffer and not really sure if we should be stocking up, or how to stock up.

In my 'mini unicorn' proposal, there will be room for all.
There needs to be greater understanding that diversity is good, ones size does not fit all.
Having practitioners trained to the same high level but from different ethnic backgrounds will be vital. The UK is multi ethnic and as you have identified from your comment you might not be appreciated in some places, and others in opposite situations.

To be clear the lecturer was white but there was a strong anti MC/UC theme across the whole department. When you spend 3 years learning psychosocial aspects etc, you can understand why, so it is self paralysis for fear of being seen as lecturing patients rather than empathising - causing or triggering issues purely because of my voice and appearance.

Nurse and doctor training standards, as far as I recall, are standardised across the EU - so by hiring EU nationals we know we are getting staff that have received the same level of training as UK staff.

Do the people on this thread that say it won't have any effect on them fully understand what'll happen? Do you get that the prices of everything will rise massively because of trading tarrifs? That companies will move to the EU for access to the Single Market? A no deal in one way or another will vastly effects everyone!

Training standards are not standardised across Europe.
Currently for doctors, standards in our medical schools are set and quality assured by the general medical Council.
European doctors can come to the UK under freedom of movement, and apply to be on the UK register of doctors with no guarantee their training in their own country is of an equivalent standard. The UK and general medical Council have to "recognise" the equivalency of medical schools in Europe. This is ok for some of them but some there are quite wide variations.. Romania for example does not have a standard of medical education anywhere near the UK.

Lonely that lecturer sounds a bit out of touch with the world if they are making that assumption. Unless they have worked in a sexual health setting that only sees very young people. I went for an interview at a GUM clinic and they saw a wide range of ages from teenagers to those in their sixties and seventies.

I am white and middle aged, not sure about class tbh, I would need to check the criteria?

missmalice WTAF? A quarter of people polled thought no deal meant we stay in the EU?

Honestly there would have been a very VERY basic test to make sure people understood the question before the referendum was held.

Don't forget @M3lon , we aren't allowed to call them fucking stupid because it hurts their sensitive fucking feelings which is why they voted Leave because we are all meanies and that will show us.

Hey there might well be remainers supporting 'no deal' on the basis it means staying int eh EU too!

I'd be in favour of only people who have the first idea what they are about voting no matter which side of the vote they fall on!

Financially and professionally DH and I would profit from Brexit. We both voted Remain.

I’m mixed race and have noticed a shocking change in society since the referendum campaign. It’s legitimised attitudes towards foreigners I haven’t heard since the ‘80s.

We’re lucky enough to have international options so we’re going to emigrate.
England is my home and I’m devastated about leaving it but it’s turning into somewhere I don’t want my DC to grow up.

I can’t read this thread as hearing about people who will really struggle because of Brexit will make me too angry.

to everyone facing hardships. Especially those with complex health issues or uncertain financial circumstances.
So unfair that people with difficult enough lives are having to cope with all this extra worry, let alone the actual impacts if we leave

I have several long-term illnesses, two or three of them life-threatening. I'm terrified of my medications possibly not being available. I was in hospital in the summer and only just survived. What if the hospital hadn't been able to get hold of the drugs I needed?
