Indian doctors are FOUR times more likely to be struck off than those trained in Britain

[Dedworth]

so dedworth, how do you classify my misses, degree from the phils, 6 months SHO job in the UK, 2yrs foundation training - that's the SAME TRAINING THAT THOSE WHO DID THEIR MEDICAL DEGREE IN THE UK WOULD HAVE TO DO, and shes doing the same GP training as those who did their medical degree in the UK and their 2yrs foundation training,

would she pass as one trained in Britain or not

Can you stop moving off topic Joe - TBH I'm tired of your repeated dragging of your Mrs into any thread about overseas trained Docs and I'm not concerned whether she trained in Phils, UK or on the Moon - watch my lips INDIAN TRAINED DOCS 4 TIMES MORE LIKELY TO BE STRUCK OFF THAN THE UK VARIETY

I'm waiting for your response on my post #14 which has nothing whatsoever to do with your wife

how do you know dedworth this is not the reason ..

BAPIO said the new figures showed that Indian doctors are discriminated against at the GMC.

Dr Ramesh Mehta, president of BAPIO, said “Over the years we have repeatedly pointed out to the GMC that foreign doctors are treated harshly in disciplinary procedures; more referrals come from the management than from the public, with fewer local doctors being referred to the GMC who also get off lightly when caught.

“The NHS and the policymakers need to make up their minds since it is ironic that on the one hand Indian doctors are being criticised and on the other hand they are being courted”.

dedworth this is a fact

RCGP figures for 2010-11indicate that the failure rate for IMGs taking the CSA component of the MRCGP is at 63.2%, compared with 9.4% of UK graduates. The President of BAPIO, Dr Ramesh Mehta said “While patient safety is of utmost importance toBAPIO and the standards of examination must be maintained; the huge differential between the pass rates is unjustified while all the trainees have gone through the same 3 year training”


There was afurore when Royal College of General Practioners admitted that ethnic-minority candidates were continuing to perform ‘differently’ to other candidates after the release of RCGP commissioned review of possible racial and sex biases in the exam in 2010.

its time BAPIO took this to court and to find out if IMG's have been discriminated and maybe IMG's are also treated 'differently' to British doctors who face being struck off.

and what credibility do you have judging people from their surname

1/250 Indian doctors had been struck off, what's that dedworth, err 0.4% , why don't you praise the 99.6% who haven't been struck off focusing on 0.4%

1/350 Pakistani doctors what's that .. err 0.28% again what about the 99.72% that haven't

oh and don't forget the British docs, well they might not be British, they did their degree here, so they could be from any country, 1/1000 is struck off. that's what .01%, and again 99.99% haven't

what common here 99%+ haven't been struck off

What's common here to paraphrase is that 0.4% is 4X 0.1%

Hence the thread title
