NHS Options for IMGs
- May 04, 2018
Here at BDI Resourcing we always asked what the different routes of relocating to the UK and working for the NHS are. We, therefore, wanted to visually simplify the process for you by creating a flowchart explaining the different routes.
The three options are:
- Postgraduate Medical Qualification
- PLAB
- Medical Training Initiative
If you are an IMG who is interested in relocating to the UK and working for the NHS then send your CV to [email protected] - and one of our Specialist Advisers will be happy to help you.
