Why THIS is the BEST TIME for International Medical Graduates (IMGs) to work in the NHS/UK
VloĆŸit
- Äas pĆidĂĄn 5. 08. 2024
- It's an unfortunate truth that many international medical graduates (IMGs) sabotage their own road to UK by getting caught up in the rumor mill of things that may happen or things that someone else has heard, or without understanding why certain things are the way they are.
Our viewers often ask us to breakdown countless news articles, screenshots, comments and what have you, saying it is our responsibility to do so. The reality is, it is your responsibility to understand the information that comes across your desk. All we are here to do is provide vetted and sourced content. And that is what we hope to continue to do in this video.

00:23 Things to first understand

07:45 Permanent residency (ILR) & British citizenship

This is Nazmun from Bangladesh.
I'm coming to the UK for a msc course in cancer biology and I've booked for Plab 1 next year. I have experience of working in ob-gyn sector for more than 8 years. Is there any possibility to get started in the ob-gyn sector after clearing my plab exam?
I love your channel and totally appreciate the effort and time you guys are putting to help IMGs.
I have a bachelor degree in general medicine and surgery (M. B. CH. B) and also Board-certified in internal medicine (4 years of study and practice) oet cleared, and MRCP part 1 and 2 written exam, without Paces exam due to shortage of exam centers overseas because of Covid-19, The Question is can I have the opportunity to find a job with all of these criteria? and could I secure a Registrar post?
I now MTI is one route. a
If you're waiting for PACES, your best bet would be MTI if you qualify.
As an IMG would anyone have any recommendations about settling (residence status) options post brexit? Are we able to do this while locuming? Can I extend my skilled worker visa? I have an EU and Canadian (commonwealth) citizenship...
you guys are legend â€
Aw thanks!

Hello! I've just found you channel and loved it straight away!! I have graduated from Medical School in Italy and I would like to to come to the UK to start my specialty. You talked about the possibility of not taking the PLAB exam depending on which EU country you graduated from. Do you know where I can find the list of these countries to know if mine is included? Thank you very much in advance!!!
You would be exempt. Please also see: czcams.com/video/0CM1fyQCfIM/video.html
Thank you for these videos! You're right, a lot of people don't understand the process and so there is misinformation being spread. I was fed misinformation as well so as usual I decided to research and find out for myself. Your videos cleared up a lot of doubts I had. Thank you.

Yay!
Great video. I am a fresh medical graduate; completed this year, 2022 june. As I know foundation year is passed. What other routes can I use to enter to work ⊠other training programs apart from ukfp.. thank you
If you don't have an acceptable pattern of internship, you cannot work in the UK outside of UKFP.
What is the pattern of internship in UK ?
love all this, its a great relief as well. Im going to be around 50 though when I finish my MBBS(career changer ) but as one who is Autistic/has a intellectual disability the US is horrid for services with adults with intllectual disabilities so UK it is.
Good luck!
I am going to give plab next year, after my graduation.
Maybe we will meetđ€....your channel is great for students planning for uk as a doctor.
Wanna have cup of tea with youâ
Good luck and hope to see you in the UK soon!
@@RoadToUK thanks ma'am, your guidance will surely help me in this journey
Hi , thank you for everything you guys are doing. I will finish medical school in beginning of 2023 around jan then i will start my internship in Egypt but after that im planning to apply for plab so that i can continue working and live in uk but i need to know if NHS asks for work experience years when i pass plab exams and start looking for job ?? Please answer me
They don't ask for work experience but you will need to show all experience and clinical knowledge in your job application.
@@RoadToUK do you mean my knowledge in internship year !! + do i need certifications to prove it !
My sibling (currently in UK) who is also an international medical graduate told me that he hasn't encountered intl medical grads in UK that doesn't have any internship training at all and that he learnt it is very hard for international medical graduates to get slots for FY1 program while in UK. Pls if one doesn't have any internship experience in his local country or elsewhere, what would be the best option for him to do internship within UK? (He'll write both PLAB 1 & 2 exams by 2023).
- will working in NHS make my brother ineligible for FY1 program since he didn't any internship (in Nigeria) after his medical graduation from a Ukraine medical university?

Hi, I am a Doctor from Sri Lanka. I graduated in 2018 and Finished my Internship in 2019. I have been working in a Obs and Gyn units for last 2 years. My Wife is coming to UK for her Masters in Environmental Sustainability. Is it possible to me to do MRCOG in UK while I am in the UK under dependent Visa? BTW Thanks for your great videos â€ïž
Do IELTS, and apply for PLAB, get GMC registration and then apply for a training job in obs and gyn
You'd not be able to be to take all parts of MRCOG unless you are in OB/GYN clinical practice (home country or UK).
Can someone mention why recently people have been saying that it is NOT a good time to work in NHS now? What is their reasoning?
Most of it has come from what we mentioned in this video and ones we've done before, like inability to enter competitive training or fears regarding pay, working hours etc. Other aspects are economically related in terms of a recession, even though this is something currently impacting most of the world given the current political climate.
Hi..i have done MRCS and have around 4-5 yrs of experience in my home country. How are my prospectus of settling in the UK...?I mean how easy/difficult is it for an MRCS graduate to get a junior level job?

Hey Dr Jo, Iâm in your shoes as Iâm in the UK with a dependent visa. Iâm also considering jobs related to healthcare and no msw positions here. Did you go for healthcare assistant job?
MSW to be honest would be more useful to your role considering the demands that an HCA role has. Is there any option to find a post as a phlebotomist?

Hi! I am an IMG from India who graduated in 2021 and I have one and a half year gap as I was preparing for the exams to get into residency in my country. Will that gap be a major hurdle in the future to obtain a job in NHS? Can I still make it if I start my PLAB journey now?
I have the same question
1) No
2) Yes
Yes or no ?
Your first question, the answer is no. The gap year will not affect your job offers at all. And your 2nd question, the answer is yes. As long as you have a recognised Medical degree from a recognised Medical school, and you've been out of school 5 years ago, you'll still qualify
@@okumangodfreyemmanuel7615 hi! What if you have a gap of more than 5 years? Do you still qualify?
Do you think the jobs will start getting saturated 3-4 years down the line and the UK might again make changes to visa etc to favor British doctors?
Unlikely. Read the GMC workforce report 2022 to understand why.

There's a transcript and CC as well if it helps!
Hey.... I do support everything you say. But nhs needs middle grade doctors not junior ones. Even specialists are willing to work as junior doctors in the uk. And fresh graduates literally have no chance of getting a job in the uk.
Except fresh graduates are getting jobs. We are in the working environment and see it on a daily basis, and even get emails or messages from many who have done it.
There is a shortage across the board, you just have to ensure your job application is made properly and you are applying for the right jobs.

i will tell you my story. I have done my fy1 in india. Worked here for another year. Passed plab 2. Got clinical attachment. Got job offers from 3 different consultants in medicine (asked me to apply whenever i see a vacancy in the hospital).Have done als. Have 2 audits in india. One research paper published. Got called for interviews 4 times. Received comments that i did well but someone more experienced was there and they got the jobs. Now i am working. Planning to do mrcp 1. And hoping to land a job soon. (For one job, one of my imt3 equivalent in india and me competed for the same post and guess what she got it and i didnt).
I have 2 cousins working in the uk. One is gp trainee and other is an anaesthesia trainee. Both imgs. They had it so much easier in 2017 and 2018 time respectively.
Any thoughts or help will be appreciated?
East or west , road to uk and NHS is best .
Aw thanks đ
Britain's experience so far has shown that the more doctors (many imported from overseas) the NHS got, the less productive it is. Figures showed that even with more doctors and nurses in the NHS, it a actually treated fewer patients than pre-pandemic levels. One reason could be the new recruits were having to be supervised and took.up time.
And another reason could be Britain's policy during the pandemic which medically is attributing to an overall higher immunity and hence less load on the system.
Your comment is as uninformed as it is lamentable.
I'm grateful for this video but not sure If I should trust it:/ sorry I just found out about this channel but the fact that people deciding not to come to uk hurts your channel bothers me
Sorry, people not deciding to come to the UK doesn't hurt our channel. If we wanted to shut down the channel tomorrow, we can and it wouldn't affect us any.
For more than four years, we've made videos and written articles about how international doctors can come and work in the UK with no ill intent. We aren't a job agency nor are we headhunters.
What we (unlike the individuals who made the video we have reacted to) are, however, are actual NHS doctors with real NHS work experience. It's up to you whether or not to trust our experience, but again, unlike the original video, we've given countless cited references in the description box backing up every single thing we've said.
Ultimately, what you choose to believe or not believe is up to you, but it's funny how quick you are to judge trust in a situation like this
