Foreign national medical professionals are able to come to the UK to work in hospitals and homes that are listed as both private and public. However UK immigration rules state that medical professionals require permits in order to take up medical profession jobs in the UK. This is where Immigration Consult can help. Immigration Consult will explain everything that you need in order to make your permit application to come to the UK to fulfil an occupational shortage job. Here at Immigration Consult we have trained lawyers who will advise you on every aspect of the immigration process into the UK.

If you are wishing to come across to the UK to work within the medical profession you will need to be registered with the General Medical Council. If you aren’t registered with the General Medical Council your permit application to work in the UK under the medical profession will be turned down.

If you are currently not registered with the General Medical Council then contact Immigration Consult and we will be happy to assist you with not only registering with the General Medical Council; we will help you with your entire process of applying to work within the medical profession here in the UK.
