NEWS FOR DOCTORS IN TRAINING POSTS/WISH TO APPLY FOR IN UK

[GETMEIN]

HOME OFFICE (18/03/2010) We will amend the restriction on working as a doctor in training in all four Tier 1 categories, following discussions with the Department of Health and other health sector stakeholders. The restriction is intended to prevent overseas doctors from depriving resident doctors of training placements.

GREAT NEWS.

All doctors in the UK (Overseas) on Tier 1-4 can now apply for specialty training positions.

Cheers

As far as I could see, the new rules have not made any difference to non-EU doctors.
They still cannot do "training jobs" under Tier-1.
Please could learned gurus clarify.
Thanks a lot

I think you are right. As far as I can understand, they are adding the restriction to 'dentists in training' also.

Where did this come from? Reading Statement of Changes (HC439) will help.
