Foreign doctors in the UK are facing tougher assessments after recent figures reveal a high number of doctors disciplined, are from abroad.
In the last five years, 63 per cent of doctors struck off or suspended by the General Medical Council (GMC) were trained overseas.
But they only make up 36 per cent of doctors on the medical register.
Nial Dickson, Chief Executive of the GMC said: 'We absolutely acknowledge that when it comes to the serious end of the scale, those from overseas are more likely to appear, and we have set about a series of reforms to address this.'
