Well well, No need to check qualifications of EU doctors and nurses!! In fact doing so is barred., we can see the queue's forming as the migrants swarm in..Your Qualifications? Reply. Doctor ..Surgeon. Your Qualifications? Reply?.,,Qualified Nurse.
"WELCOME to GREAT BRITAIN " that is professed to have the finest medical facilities in the world. I heartily agree that we have some of the finest foreign doctors, surgeons and nurses here who have become the backbone of our failing NHS.

Kate, the key there is "EU". Members' levels of training and qualifications have largely been harmonised, and not only in the medical fields. However, to get work they do have to pass an English language competency test. They can be prevented from working.

Those from outside the EU are a different matter. Their home qualifications are supposed to have been checked, in country, and to be at an acceptable level of those of their UK counterparts. Being a particular type of nurse (doctor, surgeon) in Johhnyforeignerland might not be at the same competency level of the UK and the owner of such a qualification is not "supposed" to be able to practice. They also have to pass the English Language test in order to work.

Not before time too.
