Exclusive: Research by the General Medical Council found doctors opting for US, Australia and Canada instead
Doctors are choosing not to come and work in the UK because they are put off by low salaries, the high cost of living and poor quality of life.
Research by the General Medical Council (GMC) shows that doctors who shun the UK are opting to move instead to the United States, Australia and Canada to earn more and have a better life.
Overall, 84% of doctors trained abroad surveyed by the GMC said that other countries were better than Britain at paying good salaries and only 5% felt the opposite was true.
The UK was also seen as being very poor for the cost of living and quality of life, attracting scores of minus 44 and minus 43.
