- Scotland
- Wales
- Northern Ireland
- the Channel Islands
- and the Isle of Man.

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. -
Following Brexit, doctors may only apply for registration with a licence to practise at the same time. Before applying for GMC registration, however, your primary medical qualification (degree diploma) has to be verified through ECFMG’s EPIC service. Similarly, you may also have your specialist qualification (specialty title) verified in the same way. UKmed covers every stage of the process in one unique all-inclusive service. We can also kick off with the first stage of the process while you are still preparing for your English language certification test. (And we will help estimate how much preparation time it will take to reach the minimum IELTS/OET marks required.) Once you register with the UK's General Medical Council, you then have the right to either keep or give up your licence and stay on the register with/without a licence. You can only avoid EPIC if your medical and/or specialist qualification(s) have already been verified. This may well be the case if you took part in the USMLE's in the past, or if you recently registered in other countries that also require verification. -
You were registered with the GMC (General Medical Council) in the past, but then lost your registration. You can apply for restoration with our full support. The GMC will most likely restore you to the status you had before erasure. This means that:- if you were registered with a licence, you will be restored with a licence.
- if you were registered without a licence, you will be restored without a licence.

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. -
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. -
You are a doctor, dentist, nurse, pharmacist, midwife, physio or other healthcare professional. To get an offer of a training or non-training job from the English, Scottish, Welsh NHS, Northern Ireland’s Health and Social Care, Ireland’s public health service, a private sector hospital or a GP practice, you will have to be successful in a job selection interview. UKmed has coached many individual professionals for their selection interviews, either individually or in interview skills workshops for small groups of applicants to Foundation Standalone Year 2, Core Training and Specialist Training recruitment rounds. -
You are a dentist interested in working in Ireland. Your dental degree can be recognised for registration by the Irish Dental Council, however, the exact recognition route depends on where and when you were awarded your degree. European member-state nationals can use the Automatic System, the General System, or the article 3(3) routes of Directive 2005/36/EC. Non-European nationals will likely have to follow the Council’s exam route.
