Hungarian Doctors

Hungary is a landlocked country in Central Europe situated in the Carpathian Basin. On 23 October 1989, Hungary again became a democratic parliamentary republic, and is recognized today as a developed country. Budapest is the capital city Hungary is a member of the European Union, NATO, the OECD, the Visegrád Group, and the Schengen Area. The official language is Hungarian, which is the most widely spoken non-Indo-European language in Europe. Hungary is a popular tourist destination attracting 10.2 million tourists a year.

A reoprt published by Medlines in July 2013 showed that Hungarian doctors were the second least paid doctors in whole EU after Romania. Hungarian doctors, therefore have been leaving the country in increasing numbers to seek higher wages elsewhere in Europe. Some of them work part-time in neighboring Austria or even hop on a plane to work weekends, or for a week or two each month in the U.K.

It is home to the largest thermal water cave system and the second largest thermal lake in the world (Lake Hévíz), the largest lake in Central Europe (Lake Balaton), and the largest natural grasslands in Europe (the Hortobágy).

Latest data from Hungary’s health care license office, or EEKH, show that 1,777 health care workers requested a license to work abroad last year, more than twice as many as just four years ago. Within that, the number of doctors wanting to work abroad totaled 1,111, double, again, from 2006. The most popular country of destination was the UK, followed by Germany, Austria, Ireland, and Sweden.

The main reason which formed the basis of the Hungarian doctors which compelled them to leave the country are various. Some of them are corruption, low wages and poor working conditions.

“An older doctor often won't let a younger one carry out an operation as he would be missing out on money from patients,"  as said by the Hungarian doctors themselves.

Young graduates hence face a difficult future if they stay in Hungary.

Russian Doctors

The name Russia is derived from Rus, a medieval state populated mostly by the East Slavs. However, this proper name became more prominent in the later history, and the country typically was called by its inhabitants, which can be translated as "Russian Land". After the 13th century, Moscow became a cultural center. By the 18th century, the Tsardom of Russia had become the huge Russian Empire, stretching from the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth eastward to the Pacific Ocean. Expansion in the western direction sharpened Russia's awareness of its separation from much of the rest of Europe and shattered the isolation in which the initial stages of expansion had occurred.

In the UK Russians are among the most wealthy people. Russian immigrants are mostly concentrated around Southeast London, Glasgow, Aberdeen, Edinburgh and Cardiff. Due to their wealthy status most of the leading local banks, large law firms and estate agents now have special Russian departments to make sure the rich Russians get higher quality service.

Due to increasing population of Russians in London sometimes London is called as London-grad or Moscow-on-Thames. Many believe that wealthy Russians are responsible for fast growth in British real estate market and driving the prices of property market high. Apart from business-population, there are lots of Russian students in the UK. British academic institutions and colleges are always keen to take Russian students in, not just because they pay tuition fees, but also because they usually study well and raise the university’s rating with their high marks.There are some highly talented Russians in the UK, and the majority of them can speak multiple languages and adapt perfectly to the local culture.

Keeping in pace with rest of the Russian immigrants, number of Russian doctors coming to the UK has gone up in recent past too. This trend is due to a number of personal and professional reasons. Lots of Russian doctor come to UK to get renowned British medical training, while other seek better life style and higher perks offered by the UK. Whereas, most of the overseas graduates are supposed to take PLAB exam to get GMC Registration, many Russian medical qualifications may be acceptable by GMC. We advice to check on GMC website- http://www.gmc-uk.org/doctors/registration_applications/14389.asp
