It is getting to the point where it will be easier to get an audience with the Pope than to get an appointment with a GP.

have you tired getting an appointment to see a dentist

Training foreign doctors is a money-making venture and is not in the interests of the British people...as with so much government policy these days.

Their (govt) stupidity and short-sightedness has led to this situation whereby the NHS has come to rely upon foreign doctors, many of whom should have no place there IMO.

why is it money making ? the only money making part is from the exams IMG's have to take to become registered.

roughly
there are 68,000 registered IMG's in the UK
27,000 EU doctors
and 167,000 British doctors...

in fact the number of British doctors has been increasing for a number of years (after the labour gov increased the number of places and made it more difficult for foreign doctors (tier 1 permits)

this guy is one bad egg out of 260,000 , if things are so bad why are there not more stories like this in the press ?

my misses works for the Pennine trust and is doing the same training as this guy , she doesn't know him thou..
