While the UK offers a direct route to the NHS, studying medicine in Europe is considered a "smarter" or more accessible route for students who may not have achieved top grades or who want to avoid the intense competition of the UCAS cycle.
On what do you base this post?
 
Describe what you mean by standards are still being maintained?
It means, keep the entry standards and the standard of education the same as they are now.

You said lower our standards - I said maintain our standards. We just need to make it more affordable/accessible to those that can reach the education standard. Something all the RWR political parties would baulk at.

But it is. the entry standards that are different in different countrys, yet we still import Drs from these countries. Are yu suggesting British Drs are somehow better than their counterparts?

I don't think that is the case. It's just cheaper and easier for us to bring in ready trained foreign doctors. It would require a massive amount of money and a huge reorganisation for us to train enough of our own. Each one can cost £400,000 whereas we can get a foreign doctor almost for free.

I'm not discussing their entry standards. Nor am I familiar with their standard levels.
, yet we still import Drs from these countries
Yes, I know.
. Are yu suggesting British Drs are somehow better than their counterparts?
No, not me. However, you seem to be suggesting their entry standards are lower than ours.
we have to import Drs from other countries where their entry standards are lower

This is my statement on the subject of home grown medical training/education...

and I am correct in stating that our entry requirements are a lot higher than most countries. A definitive factor in why our Universities are awash with soft degree students who are studying for a career for a life on the dole rather than a medical degree.

Then I would suggest that you toddle off and do some AI research on this subject, then pop back when you don't just think but actually know. Think on...

AI Overview

Yes, generally, it is
easier to gain entry into many medical schools abroad—particularly in Eastern Europe and some other regions—compared to the highly competitive UK system. While the academic workload remains rigorous, these universities often have lower grade requirements (e.g., Cs or Bs instead of AAA) and, in some cases, no UCAT or BMAT requirement.
