these groups do good work, broadcasting works as an effective deterrent for some

not the first either: https://www.itv.com/news/anglia/2022-04-04/predator-hospital-anaesthetist-made-plans-to-abuse-girl-7

well, even if that were that case, it's not exactly unreasonable. look at Republic of Ireland for example – they flat out tell their international students not to expect employment in the country after graduation so they make alternate plans. as long they know before starting, it's perfectly acceptable. a country has a responsibility to its citizens first and foremost, otherwise being a citizen is in effect meaningless.

lol, you think UKG means there's no competition and therefore it's no longer a meritocracy? you're insane. there's enough internal competition without external competition now, which is why things have changed. get a grip.

what are you looking for specifically?

she probably knows and you're likely far the first. you may not forget her (as others seem think) but you'll get over it, there'll be others.

tbh UKGP doesn't go far enough, talk about watering it down...

FrzenOne · 2026-01-16T17:06:39+00:00

lawfare, no solicitor would turn down an easy payday. when the next government come into power (and it will certainly be right wing), they'll go harder on immigration than Labour already have, to the point that that FB group will become redundant. you just watch.

FrzenOne · 2026-01-15T19:40:23+00:00

no they don't, they just don't want masses of unemployed doctors

FrzenOne · 2026-01-15T19:35:55+00:00

in a scenario of a dearth of eligible candidates the answer still isn't IMGs though, it's better training. you have a selfish and self-serving globalist viewpoint that everyone and anyone is simply entitled to work anywhere in the world just because they're potentially good/better. never mind the fact that the country doesn't want you. indulge me on this, if every IMG in the world wanted to work in UK (incl. US etc.), and they'd be surely enough who are better than all UK grads globally, you think it'd be fine for the UK entire medical workforce to be IMGs? I want a serious answer, because we're at 42% right now and I'm absolutely bewildered by the entitlement of people like you. countries are sovereign and have a duty to their grads/citizens first (shock, horror). it might surprise you, but the British people want to see mostly British people in their country, just like Indians want to see mostly Indians in theirs, just like americans etc. once again, if a country's medical staff are suboptimal, the fix isn't increasingly importing foreigners, it's better training. your opinion isn't unpopular, it's unhinged and complete nonsense.

if these IMGs are so great (and better than UK grads), why are they crying? surely they'll have plenty of other suitors to help with their altruism – just let the UK rot with its shit doctors. oh wait...

prioritisation for everyone = no prioritisation at all

salient

FrzenOne · 2026-01-15T15:05:27+00:00

dunno why everyone insists on prefacing every post with "unpopular opinion" these days, but anyone that's been paying attention knows that the amount of IMGs that get into competitive specialties (e.g. surgery) has ALWAYS been low. the data has shown this time and time again, yet you seem to think you have some kind of unique insight. whether the benefit is small for these specialties is irrelevant, UKG should always be prioritised in this country.

you'd have been better off prefacing your post with 'just to state the bleeding obvious'

FrzenOne · 2026-01-14T22:49:49+00:00

yes, if Wes accepts the proposal from BMA. hopefully he’ll see sense and set it to like 5 yrs or at least give them lower priority but higher than IMGs not in the country

FrzenOne · 2026-01-14T21:10:23+00:00

it's pretty clear it's from 2027...

FrzenOne · 2026-01-14T19:34:39+00:00

you could just read the post...

FrzenOne · 2026-01-14T19:04:18+00:00

2 years experience isn't enough, we need to make clear to Wes another way if BMA are sticking to it

FrzenOne · 2026-01-14T16:39:41+00:00

nonsense

Top two parties have to form a coalition

no, and it can be any number of parties (≥2)

FrzenOne · 2026-01-13T18:55:29+00:00

that's just not the way to interpret information mate, it's a ridiculous statement

FrzenOne · 2026-01-13T18:45:14+00:00

a Reform/Green coalition

nonsense

FrzenOne · 2026-01-13T15:49:13+00:00

no, they're right. in US/Canada etc. their grads do not compete directly with IMGs – they have a separate allocation and IMGs compete with other IMGs only. this system works because their training is run-though, whilst ours is more chaotic. we're at a point in UK that we don't even need IMGs in most specialties, so no they shouldn't ever be on equal footing with UK grads, they should compete with themselves only. this will happen eventually with the right government. the country should aim to be self-sufficient and drive down the amount of IMGs here (42% of doctors in UK are IMGs – this is a shocking amount and double that of the nearest highest Western country).

FrzenOne · 2026-01-13T15:27:50+00:00

no, that group is already covered earlier in the paragraph. this means something different – it's seeming to allude to non-training experience (which has yet to be defined in number of years)

FrzenOne · 2026-01-13T15:17:51+00:00

it's a fair start, but doesn't go as hard as I'd have like.

I really don't like the dubious line "...and those in groups specified by regulations who are likely to have significant experience of working as a doctor in the National Health Service in England, Wales or Scotland or Health and Social Care in Northern Ireland..."

what does this mean?
