One in four doctors come from countries that are 'banned from working for the NHS'

One in four doctors come from countries that are 'banned from working for the NHS' One in four new NHS medics come from countries that are 'banned' from working for the health service, figures have revealed.

The NHS' Code of Practice lists 97 nations that 'should not be actively recruited from' because they receive aid or suffer from a shortages of medics.

But an investigation has shown certain NHS trusts have used agencies to recruit staff from these prohibited nations, which include Egypt, Pakistan and Sri Lanka.

And the number of doctors joining the NHS from these countries has doubled in the past two years, the figures show.  The Daily Mail
