so far as i know, unless things have changed very recently, in the uk everyone starts from scratch no matter what their background or previous training

No - there are definite conversion courses that save you a year or two and there have been for at least a decade.

No, some places do a 4 year post graduate course (although it is the same amount of work as the five year course just crammed into 4), Newcastle amongst them and a few places in London. Dunno where else though. It's hard work as you have to do 5 years work in four, but they assume that as you are older and a bit more sensible then you wont be hungover quite as often....
