General Medical Council report exposes unethical recruitment of doctors in the UK from low-resource countries

摘要

To the Editor: The recent ‘The state of medical education and practice in the UK 2020’ report from the General Medical Council (GMC)[1] reveals that in 2019, doctors who obtained their medical qualification overseas comprised nearly 35% (86 794/251 319) of all those licensed to practise in the UK, and that between July 2019 and June 2020 a further 10 000 such doctors registered – many more than those who registered with a qualification from the UK.
