determination - for the last 2yrs she drove over 100miles a day , made to work xmas and boxing day, some weeks had to work 80 hrs
i'm too young to retire
thou giving up work might be an option, child care has cost us dearly
might as well give my wage straight to childminder
after theof the last 10 days Peter , its some good unexpected news

Congratulations! She is definitely one in a million Joe!
first time i chatted to my misses she was a second year med student, and that was 14yrs ago.. now that is a looooooooooooooooooooooong journey
Congratulations, that is some achievement.
Well done Mrs Joe - when you are trained up Mr Bloggs needs to point you in the direction of the lucrative GP Locum and Out of Hours services, it appears that being born overseas is a prerequisite for those wanting to jump on this gravy train
Congratulations and good luck with her training
Congratulations to your wife Mod Joe
Joe do you remember the thread I posted about those criminal Indian parasites covering half of South West London ? There's been plenty of press reports about inept German locums on Premiership hourly rates who fly in for a couple of weekends work a month
oh yes i remember, EU law, while my misses had to get at least 7 in each section of the academic version of IELTS, take plab1 and plab 2 exams, needed a cert of good standing, CRB checks, etc,, etc
I've always been puzzled Joe about where EU law comes into the equation when numerous hospital Drs and Consultants originate from N Africa, Middle East & Asia - we must have had crap medical schools for the last 30 years or sooh yes i remember, EU law, while my misses had to get at least 7 in each section of the academic version of IELTS, take plab1 and plab 2 exams, needed a cert of good standing, CRB checks, etc,, etc
to you and your missus, Joe ... it's been a long, hard slog for the Bloggs family. Here's to better times ahead!
Congratulations to your Misses! She's been living and working in the UK for 7 years now?
Wow, that's amazing!

As far as EU law coming " into the equation " and " crap medical schools for the last 30 years or so " ....
around 2/5 of the 239,000 doctors on the GMC medical register are foreign – trained ( 88,000 ), including 23,000 from Europe.
Our medical schools are not crap, they are all of high standard and there’s no shortage of applicants.
The situation is complicated.
• The EU Working Time Directive limits doctors in training to a 48 hour week. Individuals can opt out but doctors’ rotas can’t be planned on the assumption that they all will. The effects of the Directive are to impact adversely on training, costs, and staffing levels. About a quarter of junior doctors drop out of their NHS training after 2 years. This has caused a discrepancy between the numbers of doctors we’re training in the UK and the number actually needed. Hence the high proportion of foreign doctors working here. The Directive is being reviewed, but only slowly.
• It’s a myth that UK can’t ban EU doctors, if they can’t speak adequate English or there are concerns about their medical ability. Language checks – required for non EU doctors like joeblogg’s wife – are not explicitly imposed by EU law, but neither are they outlawed. That’s the responsibility of future employers.
CONGRATULATIONS MRS JOE
If you want your dreams to come true ...... first you have to wake up
your right Doc Alan, but EU doctors and not forgetting if they are an IMG married to a non british EU citizen then they dont need to register with the GMC or take the PLAB exams like most IMG's. thats.
yes its up to the trust to check their level of english and qualification out and not up to the GMC.

I thought ALL doctors wishing to work in UK had to be registered with the GMC ( http://www.gmc-uk.org/doctors/plab/b...pply.asp#Basic ).
It should certainly be the case that employers - whoever they are - make absolutely sure that qualifications, communication skills, grasp of idiomatic and colloquial language are enough to give them a job in which lives and health are at stake. This is not something that the GMC should be doing.
None of this detracts from the good news about your wife, Joebloggs
Nice one Joe...Its been a long time coming..!
