Doctors in The Dock

Well Dedworth, you've got to admit many of those with foreign names you had believed they had trained outside the UK, but in fact, many had trained in the UK. Probably some of them were even born here..

So I wonder how many of these who are struck off are from outside the UK but took their degree in the UK

Well the figures state 75% of those struck off are trained abroad so 25% are UK trained either born here or overseas.

I think we should also include rogue dentists on his thread (UK or Foreign trained)

Exactly, but I've posted a few who took their degree here but were probably not born here, so less than 25% are British trained doctors who have been struck off. There must be a few who were not born here - but did their degree here - who have been struck off.
