    It's pretty bad. A woman moves to the UK, claiming to have a medical degree from the U. of Auckland in NZ. She presented diplomas to the General Medical Council in the UK and registered as a doctor there. Unfortunately, the diplomas were fake and the woman had dropped out of medical school in Auckland after one year, never graduating. And the General Medical Council never thought to verify the degree with the U. of Auckland! (They call that a "loophole".)

    Then she worked for the NHS as a psychiatrist for 23 years! Signing involuntary commitment orders and everything. Apparently she would never have been caught except for her forging a will from an 84 year old elderly widow in her care for dementia that allegedly left the old woman's doctor-friend the woman's estate, valued at well over a million pounds.
