Migrant architects of the NHS draws on forty-five oral history interviews and extensive archival research to offer a radical reappraisal of how the National Health Service was made. It tells the story of migrant South Asian doctors who became general practitioners in the NHS. Imperial legacies, professional discrimination and an exodus of UK-trained doctors combined to direct these doctors towards work as GPs in some of the most deprived parts of the UK. In some areas, they made up over half of the general practitioner workforce. The NHS was structurally dependent on them and they shaped British society and medicine through their agency. Aimed at students and academics with interests in the history of immigration, immigration studies, the history of medicine, South Asian studies and oral history. It will also be of interest to anyone who wants to know more about how Empire and migration have contributed to making Britain what it is today.

It made me laugh out loud. It''s joyous….Aldrich Kemp is an excellent audio version and this daft series is just the tonic for rainy weekends or the horribleness of news."?Observer Cast and creditsWritten and directed by Julian SimpsonProduced by Sarah TomblingExecutive Producer Karen RoseMusic composer Tim ElsenburgSound Designer David ThomasSeries 1Clara Page - Phoebe FoxMister Bartholomew - Tim McInnernyAldrich Kemp – Ferdinand KingsleyMrs Boone – Nicola WalkerSebastian Harcourt – Kyle SollerNakesha Kemp – Karla CromeAunt Lily – Susan JamesonSecretary - Louise BrealeyHowlett - Ben CroweTom - James JoyceCyclist/Nurse - Louise BrealeyThe Underwood Sisters – Jana CarpenterConrad Spijker - Steven MackintoshSeries 2 Clara Page - Phoebe FoxAldrich Kemp – Ferdinand KingsleyMrs Boone – Nicola WalkerSebastian Harcourt – Kyle SollerNakesha Kemp – Karla CromeAunt Lily – Susan JamesonThe Underwood Sisters/Forsaken McTeague – Jana CarpenterSabine Seah – Rebecca BoeyRemington Schofield – Barnaby KayMiss Lotte Amutenya – Cherrelle SkeeteMrs Bartholomew – Kate IsittBlue 2/Novak - Ben CroweWinslow/Blue 1/Camera Assistant/Film Director/Co-Pilot - James JoyceSeries 3 Clara Page - Phoebe FoxAldrich Kemp – Ferdinand KingsleyMrs Boone – Nicola WalkerSebastian Harcourt – Kyle SollerNakesha Kemp – Karla CromeAunt Lily – Susan Jameson©2025 BBC Studios Distribution Ltd (P)2025 BBC Studios Distribution Ltd
