Which is one year programme and at the end of the msc degree they also help in plab exams preparations, visa issues and jobs security.

    2019-2020 worked in a private hospital
    From 2020 to 2022- I had a huge gap due to Covid , plus I was doing government health camps and helping out in private clinic under mentorship
    1) Will my 2 year gap will affect me in finding a job in NHS?
    2) Will my achivements after my internship can be of any positive view of getting a job in NHS?
