Big Win for Indian Medics in UK

In a huge victory for thousands of Indian doctors in the United Kingdom, a British Appeals Court upheld their appeal to force the British government to treat non-European Union medics on a par with Indian physicians.

The court judged in favour of the Indian doctors, saying a decision to decree that they could no longer apply for training posts was unlawful.

The judgement will pave the way for several-thousand Indian doctors to apply and be considered on merit alongside Europeans for medical training jobs in the UK.

The lead appellant in the case, the British Association of Physicians of Indian Origin, lost a High Court case earlier this year after which they appealed to overturn the British government's immigration and work rules for Indian doctors.
