The GMC has indicated that new language checks on European doctors are expected to come into force this summer. The current legislative position is that the GMC can assess overseas doctors applying to work in the UK, but not those from other countries within the European Union (EU). The changes will require doctors from other countries within the EU to provide evidence of their English skills, or undergo a language assessment, if the GMC has concerns about his or her ability to communicate effectively with patients.
