ANI London

Indian doctors have claimed that United Kingdom General Practitioners (GP) exams are continuously failing them in several attempts based on racial grounds.

The internationally-trained ethnic minority medical graduates taking Royal College of General Practitioners (RCGP) examinations have claimed that they are facing institutional bias and are unfairly failing GP exams despite extensive training and knowledge.

Many foreign doctors have ended up losing their jobs and lost thousands of pounds attempting to qualify as GPs.

BBC reports that General Medical Council (GMC) is investigating the GP exam pass rates after the subsequent claims.

According to the report, the highest failure rates taking the GP exams are for candidates trained in South Asia, with 69.4% of candidates failing their first attempt.
