New Delhi: Britain has amended its immigration rules to restrict immigrant doctors from taking up jobs in the country.
This could spell trouble for hundreds of Indian doctors planning to find jobs in the UK. It will become more difficult for immigrant doctors to take up trainee positions in the National Health Service.
Last year, the Department of Health had issued an order that foreign doctors could only be considered for a training post if there was no suitable candidate from the Britain or the EU.
The problem was compounded by a cut in the number of training posts from fifteen thousand to nine thousand. The British Association of Physicians of Indian Origin, which challenged that order in court successfully, has reacted strongly to the latest move.
BAPIO says the government's decision should not be discriminatory.
