The UK is mulling recruiting around 50 doctors from India to tackle a staffing crisis, days after a court ruled against Indian-origin doctors, who alleged bias in Britain's medical examination system.

Health officials will interview dozens of overseas medics over Skype (an internet based video calling service) to tackle a National Health Service (NHS) staffing crisis in its Accident and Emergency (A&E) department, which has left almost half of specialist training places for casualty doctors unfilled for the past three years.

NHS officials have set up an assessment centre in New Delhi and are currently considering 150 applications from Indian doctors, who are due to undergo interviews via video-link next week, The Telegraph reported on Saturday.
