Formerly called
Overseas Doctors Association (ODA)

The British International Doctors Association (BIDA) is a UK-based medical organisation that represents international doctors in the United Kingdom.[4][5]

Previously known as the Overseas Doctors Association (ODA), the organisation updated its name to BIDA in 1999 to be more inclusive to international-origin doctors who may have qualified in the UK.[6][7]

History

The British International Doctors Association was established in 1975 with the aim of promoting fairness and equality for all medical doctors working across the United Kingdom irrespective of their gender, race, religion, country of origin or sexual orientation.[8][9][10]

BIDA stands as the oldest organisation representing international doctors in the United Kingdom.[11] With over 50 regional divisions across England, Scotland & Wales, it is one of the largest medical organisations of its kind in the United Kingdom.[12]

The organisation also includes many Indian doctors who supported India with virtual telemedicine efforts and funds during the COVID-19 pandemic.[13]

In 2021, BIDA joined hands with the Oxygen for India appeal by British Asian Trust (an organisation founded by King Charles) and successfully raised 35,000 pounds to support India with oxygen supplies.[13]

BIDA Student Wing

BIDA Student Wing is the student arm of the British International Doctors Association.[14][15] It was formed with the aim of extending the same fairness and equality to international student doctors community in the United Kingdom. Founded by Dr Sai Pillarisetti, the BIDA Student Wing is the first organisation dedicated to representing International Medical Students studying in the UK [16][17][18] [19]

The organisation has a membership that come from over 40 nationalities.[20] [21]
