Question 2875 — medicine

Summary

Mr. Vincent Caure questions the Minister of Health and Access to Care on the situation of French doctors qualified in the United Kingdom and who began their studies before Brexit. Since January 1, 2021, these health professionals have been unable to have their diplomas automatically recognized in France, even though they still comply today with European directives 2005/36/EC of September 7 2005. The only option for these professionals is to complete their training outside France (5 to 15 years depending on the specialty), then go through the equivalence procedure for non-EU doctors. This procedure involves highly selective competitions and an additional two years of training in a French hospital, during which their career progression is blocked. This situation is particularly unfair for these professionals who began their studies in a context where the recognition of their qualifications was assured. In addition, it deprives France of highly qualified healthcare workers while needs are growing. He would also like to know what measures the Government plans to take to facilitate the recognition of medical diplomas obtained in the United Kingdom by French nationals, in particular for those who have started their studies before Brexit and whether a transitional system allowing these doctors to benefit from simplified recognition of their qualifications could, for example, be considered.
