There is currently mass migration of medical practitioners especially GPs from U.K. to Canada and Australia. Canada and Australia are aggressively headhunting UK-trained GPs which perfectly maps onto the "human capital war" you described in your report. Recently, major Canadian provinces like British Columbia, Alberta, Ontario, and Manitoba radically lowered the barrier by dropping the requirement for UK-trained GPs to sit the grueling MCCQE1 exam if they are moving directly into supervised or provisional family practice.
This is unverified to me, but it looks like Spain's Hacienda is coming for some of us here in the Gulf. I have residency in Spain as an American, and I have to report to both countries. My husband is working in the Gulf, but he is employed by the Spanish government as a civil servant here, so we are cool. Apparently Spaniards here are afraid they will be asked to turn over a hefty sum when they return home.
This is very mind boggling.
