    'Serious failings' GP to retire

    BBC News - 'Serious failings' GP in Sittingbourne to retire

    Yet another case where the rich get away with crimes. Anyone poor would have been prosecuted.

    From the linked original article dated June 11th.

    The CQC said, in the aftermath of the report, it would be taking action against the GP, although Michele Golden, head of GP inspection in the south, said that they could not “discuss the nature of that action any further at this stage for legal reasons”.

      Reading between the lines he looks as if he will still be a partner of the surgery.

      Anyways, there is no way I would go to a GP in this country that passed their medical degree in the third world.

        So you're going to ask where the GP was qualified when you make an appointment?

          They actually have to pass more exams in the UK to be able to work here, unlike their EU counterparts.

          Anyway the worse GPs I've seen in recent years come from here.....

              A lot of these doctors they pulled over from India when the NHS was growing were never up to the job.

                Are all your views based on limited personal experiences SE? Statistics are actually a lot more reliable.

                Foreign doctors do indeed have to take tests to work here but it has been questioned whether they are adequate.

                  And Judge Selwood, who ruled in family court cases in Southampton, was caught with pornographic photos of children. He was allowed to retire too.
