I don't know the what is required of foreign trained doctors in the UK, but I did here that there are a lot of foreign trained doctors in the UK right now because there was a sever shortgage of doctors. They allowed something like 20,000 doctors into the country to practice medicine without checking their backgrounds, i.e as long as they had a medical degree and were licensed to practice medicine in their home country, they were in. They didn't actually do a security background check or anything like that.
