One for Joe - European doctors three times more likely to be struck off

Keep defending the indefensible Joe.

Dedworth, you're defending the indefensible. Tell me why only 10% of British doctors who go to a hearing are struck off, yet 30% of European ones are struck off ???

Why is there a 20% difference ???? Surely whether they British, European or an IMG, the fact is that you don't get taken to a hearing for nothing. You would have thought there would be some concern as to why 90% of British doctors are not struck off

Unlike you I do not question the competency and impartiality of the hearings. Here is a prime example of a struck off Euro "Doctor"

Doctor who couldn't take a pulse is struck off medical register

Defending the indefensible Joe

[joebloggs]

Some 10% ones to add, Dedworth. I'm sure you're not defending these.

My point, Dedworth. What does it take to get a British doctor struck off ?

A complaint to the General Medical Council will always be investigated.

I'm afraid Joe has a bizarre pre-conception that all the hearings, tribunals etc are biased against the foreign "Doctors". He will defend them to the Nth degree whilst casting suspicion on properly trained & qualified British medics - note his NO COMMENT on a Romanian "Doctor" who doesn't even know how to take a pulse

I'm not defending any doctors dedworth, whether they be British, European or an img, they should all be treated the same, and from the stats they are not

dedworth did you read what i posted about the csa exam, do you understand or do i have to explain it to you

The CSA exam is a red herring - the facts are that proportionately compared with UK medics the disciplinary hearings find more Euro and rest of world (mainly african, arab and indian sub continent) "Doctors" totally unfit to practice
