British junior doctors in demand by Australian health service
British doctors are needed to plug gaps in the Australian health service.

Recruiters will be in the UK this autumn to attempt to lure thousands of junior medics and GPs to a new life down under.

The Australian government prefers doctors from Britain because of the standard of training at medical schools here.

Britain, on the other hand, has a glut of junior doctors with little prospect of gaining more senior consultant positions.

The British Medical Association (BMA) claims 21,000 qualified doctors are competing for fewer than 10,000 training posts that lead to consultant positions.

A spokeswoman for the BMA Scotland said: "It is not just fully qualified doctors and consultants who are targeted to go and work in Australia but also trainees . . . and unless we ensure there are enough specialist training places available then there is a real risk they will leave the country, which is a terrible waste of taxpayers' money.

"It is vital we offer good career options and attractive packages to retain and even encourage doctors to work in Scotland".
