Indian doctors face ban on training posts in U.K.

London: Indian and other overseas doctors working in the United Kingdom will no longer be able to have their specialist medical training funded by the government under a new plan to be unveiled soon.

A ministerial group is preparing a move to impose the ban on training posts on all foreign doctors from outside the European Union to prevent thousands of British doctors from facing unemployment, The Sunday Telegraph reported. “We need to do something quickly about this and restricting access to specialist medical training is an area where we think we can make a difference,” an unnamed government source was quoted as saying.— PTI
