Excessive numbers of foreign doctors are continuing to be hauled up before the GMC.

UK training is better?

Are all "foreigners" from the same country? what about those countries where the training is better than the UK?

There are individual cases where foreign doctors could possibly be deficient in communication and training but

having trained in the UK for years, one cannot duck away from the issue of discrimination. It is rife in all shades of grey

in all aspects of life, overt or subconcious, institutional or otherwise. A lot has been done in recent years to acknowledge

this and a lot more needs to be done to address this. Upholding standards of care is fundamental. Matters of 'Fitness to

Practice' based on poor medical care alone need to be addressed. A lot can happen because somebody looks different,

sounds different or does not share the same sense of humour or way of life. This is not going to change with legislation

It is a matter of changing perception through education. 

This is a whitch hunt! Do you remember the time when the NHS was propped up by Foreign Doctors?. Now that the EU doctors have to accomadated "foreign doctors" are targeted as being excessively brought up before the GMC.Can you be more specific where these foreign doctors ORIGINATE from rather than make a BLANKET STATEMENT that more foreign doctors are hauled up before the GMC. Foreign doctors provide the NHS with a VALUABLE service. You do not have to look far- Lord Darzi Minister of Health, Professor Arulkumaran current President elect of the Royal College of Obsterticians & gynaecologists are "FOREIGN DOCTORS". SO, if you say foreign doctors are incompetent  how come these doctor hold such estemed position in the UK?

May be regarded as an easy target?!

Is this universal? Is it true for countries such as Australia which also have a lot of foreign doctors? Do UK trained doctors in Australia have more complaints against them, than the Australian trained? Incidentally the report concerns those trained outside UK. Do white non-UKers have the same rate as non-white non-UKers? Do those who do not have English as their first language have a greater rate of complaint?
