An Italian doctor has been suspended from practising medicine in the UK after failing English language tests.
Another medic - a Polish doctor who failed language tests three times - has been allowed to work under supervision.
The tribunal panel said the standard of his English was currently
"insufficient to support safe and effective medical practice in this country".
The risk of a doctor not being fluent in English was highlighted by a lethal mistake made by Dr Daniel Ubani
a German doctor doing an out-of-hours shift
who gave a lethal dose of a painkiller to patient David Gray in 2008.
