Top cancer experts ‘being put off UK by politicians’ messaging on immigration’

Summary
A leaked report reveals that the UK’s political rhetoric on immigration is deterring top cancer doctors, scientists, and researchers from coming to or staying in the country. This is hindering cancer research, delaying clinical trials, and limiting patient access to life-saving treatments in the NHS, especially as the UK faces a healthcare workforce crisis and rising cancer cases.

The report, compiled by experts from Cancer Research UK and other institutions, states that negative messaging around immigration, high visa costs, and post-Brexit restrictions are making it harder to attract global talent. UK institutions are spending large sums on visas, diverting funds from research. For example, the Francis Crick Institute spends over £500,000 annually on visa fees, while Cancer Research UK spends nearly £690,000.

Recommendations include reducing upfront immigration costs for cancer professionals and reviewing the system's impact on global talent recruitment. Experts warn that without international collaboration, the UK will struggle to advance cancer treatment and research.
