LONDON: Doctors from India are being flown in Britain to meet staff shortages in the UK's state-funded National Health Service (NHS).
Around 18 senior doctors from India are on their way to Lancashire in North West England to plug gaps in emergency ward cover after East Lancashire Hospitals NHS Trust chiefs recently returned from a recruitment drive in India.
"It has been a very successful exercise. These offers will be subject to visa requirements and General Medical Council (GMC) registration and we can expect them to be in place in four to six months," said Kevin Moynes, the trust's human resources director.
