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.

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.

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 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.
