The Immigrant Doctors
A patient admitted to a British hospital is almost certain to be treated at some stage by an immigrant doctor. There are now about 9,000 overseas doctors working in the National Health Service and they make up over a third of the staff in our hospitals. They fill the gap left by many British-trained doctors who practise abroad.
But is the style and standard of their previous training suited to treating patients here? And are the overseas doctors themselves getting the specialist training in medicine for which they have come to this country? Narrator PAUL VAUGHAN
Editor BRUCE NORMAN
Producer BRIAN GIBSON
Not what the doctor ordered; pp 10, 13
