Immediately after the NHS or a private employer in the UK offers you a job, and just as you're ready to accept, we can get you started in your chosen role faster, error-free and with a higher salary. If you are in a rush, we can even make you our Top Priority Visa & Hire professional.

If you are a European citizen or any person with EU rights, you can get registration with the Medical Council of Ireland to work or train as a Doctor in Ireland. This is thanks to the Automatic System or the General System of recognition under European Directive 2005/36/EC. Registration in Ireland also includes the right (licence) to practise. Automatic recognition of your medical degree means that you don’t have to pass an exam as a condition for getting registered. It is the route that most European doctors make use of to practise in another member-state of the EU, including Ireland. The key condition for the automatic recognition of your medical degree in Ireland is that it is acceptable under Directive 2005/36/EC. An “acceptable” medical degree:

• conforms to article 24 of the Directive,
• or your European degree, combined with your work experience and history of registration in Europe, conform to article 23 paragraph 1 of the Directive.

Alternatively, your medical degree may be recognised by the Medical Council of Ireland through the General System of the same Directive. Different rules apply here, so contact us if you think that the Automatic System does not apply to you. We have experience using the General System route of recognition, too. Registration is only your first step. Once you are on the Irish register, you are required to register for your annual membership of a Professional Competence Scheme, in order to maintain your registration. Learn more about what this means.

You are already registered with the GMC (General Medical Council) without a licence to practise. To practise mecicine in the UK, you need a licence. You can apply for it separately with our full support.   Prefer another language? Read about this UKmed service in Greek.  

UKmed can prepare you for a successful Annual Appraisal. To practise medicine in the UK, you first have to be issued a licence by the GMC (General Medical Council). After that, Appraisal is the requirement that all licensed doctors have their medical practice formally reviewed by an Appraiser annually. To keep your medical licence in the UK, you will have to go through Annual Appraisal approximately once every 12 months. Your Annual Appraisal is part of the GMC's Revalidation framework - one leads to the other. For your Appraisal, you will meet with a qualified and approved Appraiser. If your Appraiser recommends that you should keep your licence, the GMC will most likely uphold that recommendation. It is for the GMC to decide whether you will keep your licence or not. UKmed will support you throughout your Annual Appraisal process, from preparation through to completing the Annual Return. An Annual Return is only necessary outside the NHS, so most Doctors will not need an Annual Return.

You are a dentist, doctor, nurse, pharmacist, midwife, physio or other health professional. To avoid missing out on the chance to interview for jobs in the English / Scottish / Welsh NHS, Northern Ireland’s Health and Social Care, Ireland’s public health service, or independent hospitals and GP practices, you need an expertly written custom CV, resume or job application. Or a personal statement to win a place in a Postgraduate programme of study. At UKmed we have created many successful CV’s and job applications for NHS Jobs, TRAC, the Scottish NHS, HSCNI Jobs, Ireland's public hospitals, recruitment agencies, LinkedIn profiles and other targets. We only write copy for health professionals. We never rely on AI banalities.

Following registration as a Dentist with the GDC, every Dentist wishing to practise NHS dentistry must first be included in the Dental Performer List of either England, or Scotland, or Wales, or Northern Ireland. To be clear, NHS Dental Performer List inclusion is not necessary for private dentistry only. Although private dentistry is gaining ground in the UK, NHS dentistry continues to be the major source of revenue for the majority of dental practices and Associate/Employed Dentists. That’s why most Dentists who aim to work in the UK, especially the newly qualified or relatively inexperienced ones, should realistically aim to achieve inclusion in the NHS Dental Performer List of their chosen UK country. You are perfectly fine doing both NHS and private dentistry in parallel, from the same dental practice, for the same patient and at the same time. There will be differences in how - and how much - you get paid for your services.

Διεκδικήστε θέση Ειδικότητας ή/και Foundation Year 2 στο NHS (Ην. Βασίλειο) με αξιώσεις, με ένα μοναδικό πακέτο υποστήριξης και την πείρα της UKmed. Αν σας ενδιαφέρει το NHS ως εκπαιδευτικός φορέας - δηλαδή το μεγαλύτερο δημόσιο σύστημα υγείας στον κόσμο - τότε αξίζει να διαβάσετε με προσοχή όλα όσα ακολουθούν. Οι αιτήσεις Ειδικότητας υποβάλλονται μέχρι τέλη Νοεμβρίου κάθε χρόνο. Οι αιτήσεις F2 Standalone υποβάλλονται μέσα στον Ιανουάριο. Στη συνέχεια, η αίτηση περνάει από τυπικό έλεγχο (longlisting). Έπειτα, οι ορθές και πλήρεις αιτήσεις περνούν στο στάδιο shortlisting, το οποίο γίνεται αδρά ως εξής:

• Για F2 Standalone, shortlisting σημαίνει ότι θα δώσετε την εξέταση SJT (Situational Judgement Test) και στη συνέχεια δομημένη συνέντευξη τριών σταθμών που βαθμολογούνται από 6 Επιμελητές (Consultant).
• Για το 1ο έτος Ειδικότητας (CT1/ST1/IMT1/ACCS1 κ.λπ.), το shortlisting αλλάζει ανάλογα με την ειδικότητα. Για αρκετές ειδικότητες, θα πρέπει να δώσετε την εξέταση MSRA (Multi-Specialty Recruitment Assessment). Για άλλες θα κριθείτε με βάση τα επιτεύγματά σας (CV portfolio). Άλλες πάλι ειδικότητες αξιολογούν και το MSRA και το portfolio σας.
• Στη συνέχεια, οι περισσότερες ειδικότητες απαιτούν δομημένη συνέντευξη τριών σταθμών που βαθμολογούνται από 6 Επιμελητές (Consultant).
• Τέλος, αν ενδιαφέρεστε για την "καθαρή" Ειδικότητα, δηλαδή μετά τον κορμό (ST3 ή ST4), η αίτησή σας θα κριθεί με βάση τα επιτεύγματά σας (CV portfolio) και επίσης δομημένη συνέντευξη, εφόσον ικανοποιείτε τις προδιαγραφές (person specification).

Αν τα πάτε καλά, θα δεχθείτε προσφορές θέσεων στα αντίστοιχα προγράμματα. Αν αποδεχθείτε κάποια προσφορά, τότε θα αναλάβετε καθήκοντα τον Αύγουστο στις περισσότερες περιπτώσεις. Η προετοιμασία για θέσεις F2 αποτελεί προθάλαμο και για την προετοιμασία για θέσεις ST1/CT1 αργότερα. Αν σας ενδιαφέρει να αναπτύξετε τις επαγγελματικές γνώσεις και δεξιότητες που απαιτούνται για τις διαδικασίες επιλογής Foundation και Ειδικότητας, η σελίδα αυτή σας ενδιαφέρει.
