Comment on Michael Mosley: Body found in Symi search for missing presenter
Emperor@feddit.uk 4 weeks agoI wonder if there really was something to those rumours about him not being a real doctor and the GMC investigating.
He studied medicine at the Royal Free Hospital Medical School and qualified as a doctor, although he has never practiced. It would only take a phone call to verify.

He certainly studied it for a bit, he never graduated and was never on the gmc register. He was in the same year as his wife who graduated in 1986 (she is on the register), he started working for the BBC omin 1985…

You may have to state your sources on this one as everything I’ve seen says he graduated.
He’s never practiced so would, presumably, not be on it.

I’m just repeating what was going round on social media a while back. His own account of when he started working for the BBC doesn’t line up with him finishing uni.
And all docs go on the gmc register during their final year (known as provisional registration), this is to allow them to do their ‘house’ jobs.
