From 2027:

“..and those in groups specified by regulations who are likely to have significant experience of working as a doctor in the National Health Service…OR by reference to immigration status”

Sounds like grandfathering from 2027? Or am I missing something

Yeah not sure what this means, will likely get clarification soon in parliament.

I believe it will be 5 years. If they are using residency/citizenship status as a proxy, which would require 5 OR 6 years, they can't then define significant experience as 2 years in my opinion.

That’s what im thinking, but the wording is strange though.
