"Foreign doctors" push back against Britain

Guidance making it harder for doctors from overseas to take up training posts in the NHS has been ruled unlawful.

The Department of Health said they could only be considered for a training post if there was no suitable graduate from the UK or European Union. The Court of Appeal has ruled that they must be allowed to compete for training posts on an equal footing.

See the remainder of the article here.

As an associate pointed out after reading this article, how many European or American doctors are allowed to compete in India for government paid training? No matter how you cut it, China and India are exclusionary, to the point that would not be tolerated in this country. This is a big reason why Americans compete on an unequal playing field.
