Interesting findings. Potentially some confounders but I think the dose related association makes it plausible. A useful addition to evidence to aid counselling & dose titration, but poorly controlled epilepsy carries much higher risk so pls don't stop meds purely based on this

They removed points for intercalated degrees in the name of widening participation whilst rewarding playing sport at an international level, having money to set up a business & volunteer, and directing plays. Make it make sense😭 Absolutely reeks of privilege
Not only you have to be a medic, now you have to be a business person, athlete, volunteer, musician, actor, and run a business?!

We have thousands of brilliant IMGs working as locums or trust doctors on consultant rotas
Yet @gmcuk make it absurdly difficult to get CESR recognition - even after years working at that level
They should apply the same stringent CESR approach to any HCP for a consultant level post - nurse, PA, radiographer
…but perhaps the foreign doctors need to really prove themselves
